1998 Map of Mount Hilton

About this map

Trinity Alps Wilderness dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, characterized by high-elevation permanent snowfields and glacial lakes. The drainage of the North Fork Trinity River and Canyon Creek reveals a history of remote mountain activity, from high-altitude camps like Enos Camp and McKay Camp to abandoned dwellings at Russell Cabin (Site) and Stonehouse (Site). Geologic interest is evident in the numerous resource extractions scattered throughout the steep gulches, including the McClaron Mine, Alaska Mine, and Chloride Mine. The map details a transition from recreation-focused areas like the Ripstein Campground to the high peaks of Mount Hilton and Sawtooth Mountain. Unique hydrological features are documented, such as The Sinks on Canyon Creek and the Forbidden Lakes, illustrating the complex water patterns of the Shasta-Trinity National Forests.
