About this map

Hyampom serves as the central hub of this northern California landscape, situated at the confluence of the South Fork Trinity River and Hayfork Creek. The 1951 field survey reveals a mountainous region defined by the vast Trinity National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest. Small settlements and family holdings like Grel Ranch and French Ranch are connected by a sparse network of roads and a prominent Telephone Line that cuts across the timbered ridges.

The presence of the Landing Field near the settlement and the Hyampom Guard Sta underscores the area's reliance on forest management and aerial access. Significant natural features include the Butter Creek Caves and high points such as Pattison Peak and Hyampom Mountain. For those interested in the post-war development of Trinity County, the map detail includes specific local landmarks like Camp Trinity and Camp Carter, along with numerous springs and lakes including Maddox Lake and Lily Lake.
