About this map

The Trinity Wild and Scenic River and its tributary, the South Fork Trinity River, define the eastern landscape of this quadrangle at the intersection of the Six Rivers National Forest and Trinity National Forest. The topography is marked by prominent elevations such as Sims Mtn and Potato Hill, while the Humboldt and Trinity County line bisects the area. Local naming conventions are evident in features like Waterbarrel Opening, Smith Opening, and Mule Spring, reflecting the historical utility of the land for cattle or forestry.

Transportation through this mountain terrain is limited to localized routes such as the Salyer - Mad River road and the Last Chance Trl. Geologic landmarks like Black Fox Rock and Castle Rock serve as distinct visual anchors within the dense network of drainage basins, including Grouse Cr and Big Cr. The transition between the two national forests is traced along ridges like Last Chance Ridge and Delmont Ridge, providing a clear view of the public land management boundaries in the early 21st century.
