About this map

Wildwood serves as the primary point of settlement in this remote corner of the Trinity National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of Hayfork Cr and its many tributary gulches define the landscape. The geography is dominated by high-elevation features like Goods Mountain and Hall City Ridge, which overlook a network of steep canyons such as China Gulch and Carrier Gulch.

Evidence of historical activity is preserved through labels for the Salty Panther mine and the evocative Massacre Natural Bridge at the northern edge of the survey. The region is crisscrossed by specialized routes including Potato Creek Trl and Hall City Caves Trl, reflecting the importance of trail access in the steep terrain of the Chanchelulla Divide. This map captures the intersection of early mining history and the long-term management of public forest lands.
