About this map

Trinity National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Tehama County, dominated by the peaks and drainages of the Klamath and Coast Ranges. The topography is anchored by Tomhead Mtn and Raney Peak, with a network of historical trails including the Humboldt Trl and Wells Creek Peak Trl tracing the ridges between deep gulches. These routes often follow the high ground, such as Nuisance Ridge and Syd Cabin Ridge, connecting isolated water sources like Miners Spring and Tomhead Spring.

Glades and basins provide breaks in the forest cover, appearing as named features such as Appletree Glade, Attlebury Glade, and Greasewood Basin. Drainage systems are well-defined by numerous seasonal and perennial flows, including Wells Cr, Cold Fork, and the descriptive Stinking Cr. The absence of developed town sites highlights the area's use for forestry and recreation, accessible primarily by forest routes like Pettyjohn Rd.
