1997 Map of Hopkins Butte

About this map

Schnable Diggings and the Lockharts (Site) anchor this rugged Humboldt County landscape, illustrating a history of remote mountain settlement and resource extraction. The map documents a complex intersection of land management, where the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation meets the Six Rivers National Forest. Small-scale mining operations like Ferris Mine and the Red Cap Central Mine are plotted among significant topographic features such as Hopkins Butte and LePerron Peak. Drainage systems including South Fork, Red Cap Creek, and Mill Creek carve through the steep terrain, defining the natural corridors that historic trails like the Packsaddle Ridge Trail follow. This late-twentieth-century revision provides an essential record of the boundary lines between tribal lands and the Trinity Alps Wilderness near Colgrove.
