About this map

Hyampom Valley serves as the focal point for this Trinity County landscape, situated where the S Fork Trinity River meets Hayfork Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates a remote mountain environment defined by significant peaks such as Underwood Mountain, Chaparral Mountain, and Rays Peak. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by named locations like Wigdon Place and Skunk Ranch, indicating a legacy of isolated ranching or homesteading in the drainage basins.

Access to this high country is limited to forest routes like Underwood Mountain Rd, while the valley floor supports the Hyampom Airport and recreational sites including Big Slide Campground and Salmon Rock Camp. The intricate network of tributaries, such as Eltapom Cr and Buckhorn Cr, reveals the deep erosion of the terrain, while landmarks like Salmon Rock and Young Gulch provide specific reference points for navigating the steep elevation changes.
