2015 Map of Trident Peak

About this map

Trident Peak stands as a prominent high point in this high-desert landscape situated along the border where Oregon meets Nevada. This remote section of Humboldt County is defined by the significant elevations of the Bilk Creek Mountains and the Trout Creek Mountains, punctuated by landmarks such as Granite Mtn and Black Diamond Peak. The drainage patterns here are critical for navigating the arid terrain, with Maggie Cr and Little Wilder Cr carving paths through the high plateaus. The presence of numerous isolated water sources, including Crow Creek Spring, Buster Springs, and Rock Spring, indicates the vital importance of these points for both local wildlife and any historically documented ranching activity in the region. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like Wilder Rd, which skirts the edge of the Dry Canyon and allows access through the complex topography of Long Canyon and House Creek Butte.
