About this map

Trinity Center sits along the northern reaches of Lake Trinity, serving as a focal point for recreation and local aviation at the Airport. The landscape is a complex of ridges and gulches, dominated by the waters of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. Higher elevations are marked by peaks such as Billys Peak and Bowerman Peak, while the shoreline is dotted with facilities like the Trinity Center Marina and the Jackass Spring Campground.

Evidence of the region's resource-based history remains visible through a Hydraulic Mine and a Gravel Pit. Smaller, potentially older settlement sites like Norwegian Ranch and Wyntoon are situated away from the main town, connected by a network of creeks including Swift Creek and Rancheria Creek. The map illustrates the balance between managed federal lands and the residential and recreational development prompted by the reservoir.
