2015 Map of Jim Jam Ridge

About this map

Trinity National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the New River and its various tributaries carve deep drainages through the Salmon Mountains. The convergence of the E Fork New River and S Fork E Fork New River in the northeastern reaches of the map illustrates the complex watershed that defines the region's topography. Settlement is nearly non-existent in this wilderness area, marked primarily by isolated landmarks such as Jim Jam Spring and the rugged spine of Jim Jam Ridge. Historical access into this territory is traced via Denny Rd in the west, while named points like Bake Oven Ridge and China Peak provide fixed references for researchers. The map's layout of townships and ranges indicates the underlying cadastral survey of these remote mountain peaks, including Beartooth Mtn and Green Mtn.
