2021 Map of Halfway Ridge

About this map

Trinity National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Trinity County, where a complex network of ridges and gulches directs water toward Hayfork Cr and Butter Creek. The terrain is characterized by significant natural landmarks such as Grassy Mtn and Friend Mtn, which rise above the surrounding valleys. Land use is evidenced by the numerous named springs and flats, including Sheep Camp Springs, Fir Root Spring, and Springtime Flat, indicating the area's importance for seasonal resource access and water management. Transportation is limited to a few specific corridors such as the Drinkwater Divide Rd and the Indian Butter Trl, reflecting the isolated nature of these mountain reaches. A series of deep gulches, such as Pasture Gulch and Dinner Gulch, cut through Halfway Ridge, illustrating the erosive power of the local tributaries.
