About this map

Hayfork Valley centers this modern survey of Trinity County, revealing the complex landscape of high ridges and deep gulches that define the northern reaches of the Trinity National Forest. The settlement of Hayfork is situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses, including Hayfork Cr and Salt Cr. The topography is dominated by notable heights such as Thompson Peak and Farmer Ridge, which tower over a network of timber and access roads including Forest Rte 16 and Hyampom Rd.

Tracing the drainage patterns from Thompson Gulch down to Sawmill Gulch, the map details a land of significant relief where small-scale local landmarks like Butcher Bobs Garden and the Hayfork Airport sit within the broader wilderness. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Hayfork Cem and various named canyons like Ewing Gulch and Kingsbury Gulch provides specific points for locating family homesteads or historic land use areas within the Forest Service boundaries.
