1952 Map of Schell Mtn

About this map

Trinity Farm and a cluster of family-owned ranchlands like Scott Ranch and Norwegian Ranch occupy the northern reaches of this 1950s terrain. The area is defined by the steep descent toward the Trinity River and its East Fork, where the landscape transitions from high peaks to narrow canyon flats. The map documents a diverse extractive history, from hard-rock sites like the Star Mine and Five Pines Mine to the timber-related Lamoine Mill Site. Remote outposts such as Garrity Cabin and the Trinity Mtn Guard Sta reflect the era's focus on forest management and livestock grazing, evidenced by the presence of Sugar Pine Sheep Camp and Schultz Sheep Camp scattered across the high ridges. This geography captures the working landscape of the Trinity National Forest before more modern infrastructure reached these canyons.
