2012 Map of Dinsmore

About this map

The Van Duzen River carves a central path through this Trinity County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit. The small community of Dinsmore anchors the northern portion of the sheet, supported by the Dinsmore Airport and a network of Forest Service routes including Rattlesnake Bridge Rd and Forest Rte 1N10. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and named peaks such as Tierney Peak, Woodmans Butte, and Red Mountain, which separate isolated valleys like Sulphur Valley and Jack Rabbit Valley. Further south, the map details the confluence of numerous tributaries like Dairy Cr and Panther Cr as they feed into the Little Van Duzen River. This survey captures a transitional zone where high-country topography meets localized ranching and aviation infrastructure at the edge of the Mad River drainage.
