1967 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest terrain dominates this 1967 survey of eastern Trinity County, defined by the winding course of the Eel River. The landscape reveals a pattern of mid-century ranching and remote settlement, centered around Hoaglin Valley and isolated outposts such as Jamison Ranch and Lampley Ranch. Significant elevation changes are marked by peaks like Pilot Peak and Moose Peak, while the lower elevations near the river show signs of industrial infrastructure, including a Tunnel and several Mines. The presence of the Lake Mountain Landing Strip and various corrals like Lone Pine Corrals and Pepperwood Corrals suggests an era when air travel and livestock management were critical for navigating this backcountry. Numerous seasonal lakes, such as Turtle Lake, Lost Lake, and Dry Lake, are scattered across the high ridges, providing vital water sources in the steep canyon country.
