2012 Map of Forest Glen

About this map

S Fork Trinity River and the Mad River carve through this Trinity County landscape, creating a complex geography of ridges and flats. Near the northern boundary, Forest Glen and Taylor Flat sit along the Trinity, while the southern portion of the map is anchored by the community of Ruth. The terrain is marked by high-elevation points like Pickett Peak Lookout and Horse Ridge Lookout, providing vantage points over the surrounding basins. The area serves as a hub for backcountry access, evidenced by Pickett Peak Campground and Fern Campground. Transportation through the region follows the natural contours of the river valleys, with Mad River RD and Ruth Zenia RD connecting remote ranchlands like Terral Ranch to the more developed areas. The presence of the Silver Creek Ranch Airport highlights the importance of aerial access in this deeply corrugated mountain environment, where deep gulches like Clover Gulch break the rising slopes.
