2012 Map of Swim Ridge

About this map

Mad River and its several forks dictate the movement and terrain of this Trinity County landscape, carving through high ridges and canyons just after the turn of the 21st century. The confluence at Three Forks highlights the meeting of the N Fork Mud River and the main river channel, while prominent landmarks like Van Horn Peak and Horsehead Mountain provide vertical contrast to the deep gulches. Small, localized clearings such as Cleveland Meadow and the site at Double Cabins suggest long-standing, if sparse, human activity in this corner of the national forest.
