2018 Map of Long Ridge

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest encompasses this section of Trinity County, where the steep canyons of the North Fork Eel River dictate the local geography. The landscape is defined by its dramatic ridges and secluded water sources, providing a clear picture of the remote interior of Northern California. Long Ridge and Haman Ridge serve as primary landmarks for orientation, while smaller topographical features like Jerry Gulch and Hayden Roughs indicate the complex drainage systems that feed into the Eel River. The presence of Schoolhouse Spring and Climbing Spring suggests localized points of importance within the rugged terrain, possibly marking historic sites or essential water stops along the ridge roads. Tracing the paths of Cottonwood Cr and Salt Cr reveals the natural corridors through which early travel and resource management likely flowed in this forested region.
