2018 Map of Santa Rosa Peak

About this map

Santa Rosa Peak dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Humboldt National Forest. Part of the larger Santa Rosa Range, the terrain is defined by sharp elevation shifts and deep drainages. The map records a network of high-country routes, most notably the Summit Trail which traverses several ridgelines, and the New Motor Trail providing access to the western slopes. Numerous watercourses originate in these heights, including McConnell Creek, Rock Creek, and Mullinix Creek, flowing through steep valleys like Horse Canyon and Falls Canyon. The drainage patterns and named peaks like Sawtooth Mtn and Paradise Peak offer critical orientation for studying the historical land use and early surveying of this portion of Humboldt County.
