About this map

Hayfork Creek and its many tributaries, including Jud Creek and Butter Creek, carve through this section of Trinity County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of forest routes such as Hyampom Road and Indian Valley Road, which provide access to the remote elevations of Friend Mountain and Grassy Mountain. These peaks and the namesake Halfway Ridge separate numerous gulches and canyons, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of the region.

Evidence of seasonal or recreational land use appears at Camp Carter and Camp Springtime. This 2012 survey identifies numerous named water sources essential to the area's geography, from Sardine Spring and Vaughn Spring in the south to Fir Root Spring and Sheep Camp Springs further north. The map also highlights distinct geographic basins like Indian Valley and Butter Creek Meadows, which provide rare flat ground among the surrounding ridges.
