About this map

The Trinity River cuts a deep path through the heart of the Klamath Mountains, defining the geography of this rugged Trinity County landscape. Along its banks, the river forms several distinctive river bars and flats, including Luccock Bar, New York Bar, and Cedar Flat, which serve as small focal points for local movement and topography. The river's power is evident at Burnt Ranch Falls and within the narrow walls of Box Canyon.

Beyond the water, the terrain rises sharply toward Ironside Mtn and Big Mtn, with the northern and central portions of the sheet protected within Six Rivers National Forest and Trinity National Forest. Steep ridges like Halsey Ridge are punctuated by geologic features such as China Slide and isolated waters like Hidden Lake. The forest road network, including Veterans Hall Rd and Pony Express Way, provides the primary access to these high-elevation forest lands.
