2018 Map of Hennessy Peak

About this map

Hawkins Bar sits at the northern confluence of the Trinity River and Pony Creek, marking a historic settlement point within the Six Rivers National Forest. This 2018 survey details a landscape defined by the deep drainage of the South Fork Trinity River, where significant elevation changes occur between the riverbed and high points like Hennessy Peak and Gainor Peak. The area is characterized by an extensive network of forestry roads, including Hennessey Road and Underwood Mountain Road, which provide access to the timberlands and ridges of the Trinity National Forest. Small water bodies such as Big Lake and Sucker Lake are found tucked into the high ridges, while to the east, the community of Burnt Ranch appears along the primary river corridor. The geography transitions from the jagged Salmon Mountains in the north toward prominent local landmarks like Sugarloaf Mountain and the steep incline of Castle Rock near the southern boundary.
