About this map

Trinity National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest converge at the crest of the Salmon Mountains, defining a landscape of high ridges and deep drainage basins. The boundary between Humboldt Co and Trinity Co follows the prominent divide of Devils Backbone and Horse Trail Ridge, where elevation gains are marked by the presence of Mill Cr Lakes and Water Dog Lakes.

Remote geographical landmarks like Graveyard Prairie and Ladder Rock suggest a history of localized use within the difficult terrain, while the naming of geological sinks such as Crogan Hole, Devils Hole, and Bret Hole highlights the specific nomenclature used by surveyors and local travelers. Major watercourses including Tish Tang a Tang Cr and Horse Linto Cr dictate the rugged movement across these protected forest lands.
