About this map

High-altitude gold mining and forest service management define this mid-century survey of the Trinity Alps. The landscape is dotted with remote outposts including Schlomberg Cabin, Hodges Cabin, and Francis Cabin, alongside established sites like the Coffee Creek Ranch. Hardrock mining activity is concentrated along the ridges and gulches, evidenced by the Dorleska Mine, Yellow Rose Mine, and the Lady Slipper Mine.

Administrative presence is marked by the Coffee Creek Guard Sta and Carter Meadows Guard Sta, which oversaw the intersections of the Klamath National Forest, Trinity National Forest, and Shasta National Forest. The map traces a complex network of pack trails and jeep tracks leading to alpine water bodies such as Lower Caribou Lake and Stoddard Lake, reflecting the era's reliance on traditional routes for accessing high-country resources.
