About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the deep canyons of the Trinity National Forest, where the settlement of Del Loma sits along the northern bank. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent geographic importance of the river bars—deposits of sand and gravel that historically invited mining and settlement—including Schneiders Bar, Canadian Bar, and French Bar. These points, along with Tonys Point, mark specific bends in the river that have long defined the localized human geography of this part of Trinity County.

High above the river valley, the topography rises toward the Salmon Mountains in the northeast. Notable terrain features such as Cherry Flat, Oak Flat, and Taylors Flat indicate the few level benches available in an otherwise steep landscape. The map details a network of forest roads, including Big French Creek Rd and Prairie Creek Rd, which provide access to these remote ridges and the various drainages like Pelletreau Cr and Little Swede Cr that feed into the main river channel.
