2015 Map of Smoky Creek

About this map

Murphy Place and Bramlet Place anchor this remote section of northern California, situated where the Trinity National Forest meets the Six Rivers National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the S Fork Trinity River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Smoky Creek, Dubakella Cr, and Happy Camp Cr. The topographic detail reveals a network of high ridges and named gaps, such as Rattlesnake Ridge, Bierce Ridge, and Snow Gap. Forest service routes like Bramlet Rd and Forest Rte 29N58 provide the primary access through this complex terrain. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment where land use is marked by features like Red Mountain Pasture and isolated meadows such as Swim Meadow, reflecting the region's history of seasonal grazing and timber management.
