2018 Map of Mount Hilton

About this map

Mt Hilton and the high summits of the Trinity Alps define this high-altitude landscape within the Trinity National Forest. The map detail focuses on the sharp glaciated terrain of the northern California mountains, where numerous alpine water bodies like Sapphire Lake, Mirror Lake, and the Canyon Cr Lakes are carved into the granite. Towards the southeastern corner, the elevation drops toward the drainage of the E Fork N Fork Trinity River, where the settlement at Globe Mill sits near the confluence of Canyon Cr and Little E Fork Canyon Cr. This area illustrates the transition from the high peaks of Thompson Peak and Sawtooth Mtn to the lower gulches and creek meadows that historically supported local milling and timber operations.
