About this map

Santa Rosa Peak rises as the central landmark of the Santa Rosa Range, presiding over a landscape defined by deep drainage systems and high-altitude trails. The high country within the Humboldt National Forest is accessible via an extensive network of paths, including the long-running Summit Trl and the Mcconnell Creek Trl. These routes follow the natural topography, tracing the ridges above Horse Canyon and the headwaters of numerous perennial and seasonal streams.

Water distribution is the primary feature of this terrain, with the map recording the radial drainage from the peaks into various basins. Notable watercourses include Rock Creek and McConnell Creek to the west, while Mullinix Creek and Big Cottonwood Creek flow toward the eastern slopes. The survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrology and trail systems that have guided movement through this part of Humboldt County for generations.
