About this map

Hayfork Summit stands as the central topographic landmark in this high-altitude section of Trinity County, where the boundaries of the Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by the Hayfork Divide, a significant ridgeline that separates various drainage basins. Numerous gulches, such as Garden Gulch, Bridge Gulch, and Carrier Gulch, carve through the terrain, indicating a complex network of seasonal and perennial water flow into larger arteries like Hayfork Cr and Carr Cr.

A network of Forest Service routes and local roads, including Barker Valley Rd and Wildwood Rd, provides access to these timbered highlands. Significant peaks like Wells Mtn and Duncan Hill provide vertical relief in an area primarily used for forestry and resource management. The map reflects a modern era of land use within the national forests, showing established roads like Summit Creek Rd that follow the natural contours of the steep gulches and ridges.
