About this map

Trinity Mountains peaks and the sprawling waters of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area dominate this 1998 revision. The map documents the intricate shoreline of Trinity Lake, specifically the Van Ness Arm and Papoose Arm, which provide critical boat access at Captains Point Campground Boat Access. This landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where numerous gulches like Digger Gulch and Eastman Gulch carve through the ridges toward the central reservoir.

Resource extraction and high-altitude monitoring are evident in the presence of the Five Pines Mine and the Trinity Mountain Lookout atop Trinity Mountain. The boundary between Trinity Co Shasta Co runs through the eastern ridges, including Honeymoon Ridge. Local life is anchored by small settlements such as Palace of the Oaks, while the vast reach of the Shasta National Forest underscores the region's managed wilderness character during the late twentieth century.
