About this map

The confluence of the South Fork Trinity River and Hayfork Creek defines the remote settlement of Hyampom in the mid-twentieth century. This Trinity County landscape is a complex network of ridges and watercourses, including Indian Creek and Butter Creek, where topography dictated the placement of early infrastructure. The Landing Field at Hyampom and the Telephone Line cutting through the center of the sheet reflect the region's mid-century modernization within the Six Rivers National Forest.

Local land use is evidenced by family names and isolated outposts such as Grel Ranch, French Ranch, and Waldorff Flat. Historical resource management is visible at the Hyampom Guard Sta and Indian Valley Guard Sta, while recreational sites like Big Slide Campground and Camp Trinity underscore the area's transition into a destination for forest access. High peaks like Pattison Peak and Monument Peak overlook a terrain still largely accessed by trails such as the Cottonwood Trail.
