About this map

Trinity Lake defines the northwestern corner of this territory, where the Papoose Arm reaches into the timbered slopes of the Trinity Mountains. This 2022 survey captures a landscape managed by two federal agencies, with the boundary between Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest cutting across the high ridges. The terrain is a complex system of drainages including Papoose Cr and its various forks, which have carved deep paths through the Bowerman Ridge and Feeny Ridge.

Physical landmarks such as Comstock Slide and the prominent Trinity Mtn highlight the steep verticality of the region. Local travel is facilitated by a network of forest roads like Kinny Camp Rd and Co Line Rd, which trace the heights of Highland Ridge. For those studying the hydrology of the Trinity River basin, the map provides detailed placement of numerous gulches and springs, including Crystal Spring and Whitney Gulch.
