About this map

Forest Glen serves as a central point in this remote mountain landscape where the Trinity National Forest meets the Six Rivers National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Trinity River and the Mad River, which feeds into the Ruth Reservoir at the western edge of the map. High-elevation points like Pickett Peak, featuring the Pickett Peak Lookout, overlook a network of seasonal flats and small settlements including Stockton Flat and Dashields.

The area's character is deeply influenced by the rugged divide of South Fork Mountain. The map reveals a history of movement and seasonal habitation through numerous named springs, such as Wiregrass Springs, and recreation sites like Hell Gate Campground. Small family-named landmarks like Graves and Hoffman Flat hint at the local ranching or homesteading history embedded in these steep canyons and timbered ridges.
