1951 Map of Pilot Creek

About this map

Ackley Ranch (Site of Fort Baker) sits along the southwestern edge of this survey, marking a location of significant historical frontier activity in the northern coastal ranges. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Six Rivers National Forest and the South Fork Trinity National Forest, where steep drainage systems like Grouse Creek and Pilot Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of mid-century ranching and backcountry life is scattered throughout the region, including the Deer Creek Ranch, Stapp Ranch, and isolated outposts such as Dan East Cabin and Ridge Cabin.
