About this map

Mining operations and remote settlements define this mountainous landscape within the Shasta Trinity National Forests and the Trinity Alps Wilderness. The settlement of Dedrick serves as a central point along Canyon Creek, surrounded by historical claims such as the Mason & Thayer Mine and the Silver Grey Mine. To the south, Canyon City is situated near the confluence of several gulches, reflecting the area's intensive gold-seeking history.

The Trinity River cuts through the southwestern corner, where the geography of extraction is clearly marked by the Idaho Bar and Tailings Coopers Bar. High-altitude landmarks like Weaver Bally and Bally Mtn provide context for the steep drainage systems of Rich Gulch and Bear Gulch. This map provides a detailed look at the 1990s forest boundaries and the persistent evidence of early-century placer and hard-rock mining across the Trinity Alps.
