1951 Map of Hayfork

About this map

Hayfork Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Trinity National Forest dominate this mid-century survey. The settlement of Hayfork serves as the central hub, characterized by its Landing Field and the County Fairground. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by the winding Trinity River and the high vantage of Hayfork Bally Lookout. Extensive mining activity is evident throughout the southern reaches, with operations such as the Scorpion Mine, Layman Mine, and Cope & Johnson Mine scattered along the mountain gulches. Along the river to the north, smaller settlements like Big Bar and Junction City mark the transport corridor, while isolated outposts like Rose Ranch and Eagle Ranch illustrate the era's remote ranching and forest management patterns in northern California.
