2012 Map of Hayfork Summit

About this map

Staffords Crossing serves as a primary point of human settlement in this mountainous reach of Trinity County, situated where Wildwood Rd and Carrier Gl Rd meet. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses and deep ravines, including the prominent Hayfork Cr and Summit Cr. These streams carve through a landscape of named features such as Wells Mountain and Duncan Hill, while local history is reflected in the numerous gulches, such as Bridge Gulch, Negro Gulch, and Fulton Gulch. The road network, largely composed of Forest Routes like Forest Rte 31n51, suggests an area utilized for timber management and fire access across Shake Ridge and Rock Flat. Hayfork Summit marks a key geographic transition point along the ridge lines, overseeing the complex drainage basins of Duncan Cr and Carr Cr.
