2015 Map of Del Loma

About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the heart of this landscape, carving deep valleys between the high peaks of the Salmon Mountains and Barnum Ridge. Along its banks, the river's legacy of mining and settlement is evident in names like Schneiders Bar, Canadian Bar, and French Bar, marking sites where alluvial deposits once drew prospectors. The small settlement of Del Loma serves as a focal point along the waterway, positioned near Tonys Point and Taylors Flat. This 2015 survey shows a terrain defined by its complex drainage network, where Big French Cr and Little French Cr feed the main river corridor. High-elevation points like Cherry Flat and Oak Flat stand in contrast to the steep drainage of Vance Gulch, while Forest Rte 4 and Swede Creek Rd provide the primary access into the steep forested interior.
