1982 Map of Covington Mill

About this map

Covington Mill and the Heath Ranch anchor the human footprint of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of the Stuart Fork and Swift Creek drain toward the northern reach of Clair Engle Lake. The terrain is characterized by the high peaks of the Alps, including the prominent Gibson Peak and Granite Peak. A Hydraulic Mine near the upper reaches of Creek suggests the era's lingering mining legacy, while recreational development is visible through the Alpine View Campground and Hayward Flat Campground along the lake's shoreline. Within the Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest, the map captures the overlap of protected wilderness and industrial history, from the high Trinity Alps Primitive Area to the Boat Ramp access points that mark the region's transition into a major water recreation destination.
