About this map

The Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation dominates the western half of this terrain, where the rugged landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes of Hostler Ridge and the deep drainage of Tish Tang Creek. East of the reservation boundary, the land transitions into the Six Rivers National Forest, eventually reaching the protected high-country of the Trinity Alps Wilderness along the eastern margin.

Evidence of historical backcountry activity is found at Box Camp and scattered corral sites, while old routes such as the one crossing at Marshall Crossing hint at earlier transit through these mountains. Natural water sources like Mud Springs and Bowman Spring provided essential stopovers for travelers navigating the high ridges. The map illustrates a complex network of forest roads, including 10n02 and 8n01, which connect the primary geographic landmarks like Tish Tang Point and Sign Board Gap.
