2021 Map of Hayfork Bally

About this map

The Trinity Wild and Scenic River carves through the northern reaches of this Trinity County landscape, marking a deep drainage near the settlement of Big Bar. This 2021 survey highlights the complex topography of the Trinity National Forest, where high elevations like Hayfork Bally overlook a series of prominent divides including Manzanita Ridge and Limestone Ridge. The terrain is defined by its water sources, from the curiously named Love Letter Spring to major tributaries such as Big Creek and Miners Creek. Cultural traces are sparse but significant, including the historic site of Rose Ranch and a network of forest roads like Packers Creek and Soldier ID that provide access to the Salmon Mountains interior. This map is a primary resource for understanding the contemporary drainage patterns and named landmarks within this protected wilderness area.
