About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the heart of the Trinity National Forest, shaping a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal river bars. This early 1980s survey documents the isolated riverfront community of Del Loma, where a Trailer Park and the Hayden Flat Campground served travelers along the canyon road. The map records several family-named agricultural holdings and camps situated on rare flat ground above the water, including Brooks Ranch, Upper Waldorf Ranch, and Lower Waldorf Ranch.

Remote hydrology and topography are central here, with numerous side drainages such as French Creek and Pelletreau Creek feeding into the main river channel. Local landmarks like Del Loma Cave and various "bars"—gravel deposits along the river bends like Whites Bar and Schneiders Bar—point to the area's history of river-based recreation and small-scale resource extraction. A distinct Tunnel along the river road indicates the engineering required to navigate this constricted corridor.
