2012 Map of Cecil Lake

About this map

Fosters Cabin and Hull Cabin stand as notable markers of habitation in this high-elevation landscape of the Salmon-Trinity Alps area. The 2012 survey illustrates a terrain defined by remote camps and high-country landmarks, such as the Cecil Point Lookout and the aptly named Five Dollar Camp. Water sources are vital features here, from the headwaters of the N Fork Trinity River and E Fork New River to smaller alpine bodies like Cecil Lake and Rattlesnake Lake. The map reveals a history of seasonal usage and mountain exploration, evidenced by the many named camps including China Gardens Camp and Pegleg Camp. Features like Mullane Corral and Election Gap suggest the movement of livestock and people through the high passes of the Blue Ridge.
