About this map

The Trinity River carves a deep path through the convergence of the Six Rivers National Forest and Shasta-Trinity National Forests, defining the geography of this Northern California landscape. The riverside settlement at Burnt Ranch serves as a focal point, featuring a Post Office and nearby Burnt Ranch Falls. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Ironside Mtn and Big Mountain down to the river bars and flats.

Evidence of local habitation and resource use is visible at Gray Ranch, Hennessy, and the Mobile Home Park near Cedar Flat. Historically significant features include a Cem and Gaging Sta, while the natural hydrological network is extensively detailed through named tributaries like New River, Hennessy Creek, and Canadian Creek. The presence of China Slide and Box Canyon indicates the specific geological character of the canyon floor before the river exits the quadrangle toward the west.
