About this map

Trinity National Forest and Mendocino National Forest define the backdrop of this mid-1930s survey, capturing a remote landscape of the Northern Coast Ranges. The map reveals a network of high-elevation meadows and valleys, notably Hoaglin Valley and Hettenshaw Valley, which supported isolated ranching and homesteading life. These small communities are anchored by several local schoolhouses, including Hettenshaw Sch and Long Ridge Sch, and a series of family-named landmarks such as the Double A Ranch, White Ranch, and Wilburn Ranch.

The area's resource-based economy is evidenced by the Klondike Mine and several ranger stations, including the Mad River Ranger Sta. Topography is characterized by the complex drainages of the South Fork Trinity River and the Mad River, with significant peaks like Lake Mountain and Island Mountain rising above the timbered ridges. This sheet preserves the locations of early 20th-century outposts like Peanut and Wildwood before modern development altered these mountain corridors.
