About this map

Trinity Alps Wilderness and the surrounding Shasta Trinity National Forest define this landscape of the late 1990s. The terrain is structured by massive geologic features such as Limestone Ridge and Backbone Ridge, which dictate the paths of the North Fork Trinity River and the South Fork East Fork Trinity River. Human presence is marked by a network of high-elevation campsites and cabins, including Stronce Cabin and Jakes Upper Camp.

Regional access is centered on the Hobo Gulch Trailhead and Hobo Gulch Campground, serving as entry points for the steep gulches and canyons of the interior. The map records several named water sources and meadow systems crucial to backcountry travel, such as Pony Mountain Meadows and Whites Creek Lake. Small flats like Keystone Flat and Manzanita Flat provide rare level ground along the river corridors.
