2015 Map of Ironside Mountain

About this map

Trinity River and its confluence with the New River dominate this mountain landscape, carving a deep corridor through the Six Rivers National Forest and Trinity National Forest. The community of Burnt Ranch serves as a central point of settlement along the river banks, accompanied by smaller flats and riverside landings such as Cedar Flat and Bell Flat. The topography is defined by the massive Ironside Mountain and Halsey Ridge, which rise steeply above the water. Evidence of the region’s hydraulic and geological history is visible in features like the China Slide and various river bars, including New York Bar and Luccock Bar. In the higher elevations, smaller water bodies like Hidden Lake and named springs such as Misery Spring provide critical water sources in this complex terrain of canyons and mountain peaks.
