About this map

Trinity National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the terrain of the southern Klamath Mountains. The Trinity Wild and Scenic River defines the southern boundary, flowing past Granite Canyon and Kingfisher Point. Human activity in this remote region is marked by small clearings and historical water management, evidenced by the Post Flume and the settlement at Big Flat of Naufus.

Varied topography ranges from the open Grouse Prairie to prominent peaks like Post Mtn and Friend Mtn. Named features such as Devils Kitchen and Petes Pasture hint at early ranching or homesteading history in the canyons. The network of drainage systems, including Naufus Cr and Plummer Cr, feeds into the larger Trinity River system, illustrating the vital role this watershed plays in the California interior.
