About this map

Trinity National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2022 survey, centered on the dramatic granite crests of the Trinity Alps. The map illustrates a network of wilderness routes, including the Canyon Creek Trl and Rattlesnake Creek Trl, which provide access to remote glacial basins such as Mirror Lake, Kalmia Lake, and Papoose Lake. The jagged topography is punctuated by prominent landmarks like Thompson Peak, Wedding Cake, and Mt Hilton.

Downslope from the peaks, the drainage patterns of the E Fork N Fork Trinity River and its tributaries, such as Yellow Jacket Cr and Indian Cr, dictate the movement through the terrain. In the southeastern corner, the label for Globe Mill sits near Ripstein Gulch, serving as a solitary reference to historical industrial activity in an area otherwise dominated by the wilderness of the Salmon Mountains and Backbone Ridge.
