2015 Map of Damnation Peak

About this map

Damnation Peak and the high ridges of the Trinity Mountains dominate this landscape within the Shasta National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of gulches and gaps, including the curiously named Budweiser Gap and Wild Bill Gulch. To the northwest, the fingers of Trinity Lake reach into the terrain near Nelson Creek Gap. The map reveals a complex system of fire roads and trails navigating steep ridges like Mosquito Creek Ridge and Topnotch Ridge. For those tracing local history, the labeling of features like The Incline and Station Gulch suggests the legacy of early industrial or forestry access in these highlands. Landmarks such as Lookout Point and Damnation Pass provide specific points of orientation for researchers mapping the historical movement through this portion of the Trinity-Shasta county line.
