About this map

Island Mountain sits along a sharp bend of the Eel River in this survey of Trinity County’s remote southwestern reaches. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Six Rivers National Forest, where prominent summits like Horse Ranch Peak, Lake Mountain, and Pilot Peak overlook a complex system of drainages. This high-country geography is punctuated by small alpine features such as Turtle Lake and Lost Lake, alongside the seasonal waters of Dry Lake and Indian Springs.

Deep valleys like Kettenpom Valley and Hoaglin Valley offer glimpses into the small-scale settlement patterns of this isolated region. Connectivity is maintained through rugged passages such as Bear Canyon and high-ridgeline routes like Haman Ridge Road. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Kekawaka Creek and Boulder Creek carving through the steep terrain to meet the winding Eel River.
