About this map

Trinity River flows through the northern reaches of this Trinity County terrain, carving a path between the Salmon Mountains and Manzanita Ridge. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes leading to the prominent peak of Hayfork Bally, a significant high point within the Trinity National Forest. Small settlements like Big Bar and Junction City occupy the river corridor, while more remote sites such as Rose Ranch and Barker hint at the area's rural land-use history and ranching roots.

The complex drainage network includes numerous named creeks and springs, such as Packers Creek and the curiously named Love Letter Spring, which feed into the primary river system. Portions of the Trinity Alps Wilderness are visible in the northwest, emphasizing the protected status of these mountain reaches. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the forest roads and trails, such as Wheel Gulch Rd, that provide access to the ridges and high meadows like Hocker Meadow.
