2018 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

The Eel River defines the southwestern corner of this Trinity County landscape, winding past the settlement at Island Mountain. This mountainous terrain is characterized by a high-elevation drainage system feeding into numerous named creeks, including Kekawaka Cr and Queatchumpah Cr. The map reveals a high-country economy and infrastructure through labels like Hoaglin School Rd and Old School House Rd, suggesting the historical placement of rural community centers. Large portions of the territory are managed as part of the Six Rivers National Forest. Higher elevations are marked by prominent summits such as Lake Mountain and Pilot Peak, while more level areas like Pine Flat and Prather Flat provide rare breaks in the topography. Isolated water bodies like Turtle Lake and Dry Lake are scattered across the ridges, and the northern reaches are home to Kettenpom Valley and Hoaglin Valley.
