About this map

Trinity Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern California region, where the waters divide the Shasta National Forest and Trinity National Forest. The settlement of Trinity Center sits on the western shore, anchored by the Trinity Center Airport and surrounded by a network of gulches and peaks. The topography is defined by significant elevations, including Billys Peak and the Trinity Mountains, which rise sharply from the water's edge.

Several prominent ridges like Linton Ridge and Feeny Ridge provide a framework for the drainage basins of Swift Cr and Rancheria Cr. In the middle of the lake, the Irish Isles appear as distinct landforms created by the fluctuating water levels of the reservoir. This map documents the intersection of recreational geography and forest management, where mountain peaks like Jackass Peak overlook the northern reaches of the Trinity River system.
