1952 Map of Willow Creek

About this map

The Trinity River and its South Fork Trinity River converge in this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of high ridges and isolated riverfront outposts. The settlement of Willow Creek serves as a central hub, situated near the northern reach of the Six Rivers National Forest. Local industry and infrastructure are evident in the scattered Placer Mines and the Horse Mtn Mine located west of Horse Mtn. Navigation across the challenging terrain is marked by a Footbridge over the Trinity and the route of State Hwy 299 winding through the canyons. Notable land holdings and administrative sites include the Cedar Grove Ranch, Lower Trinity Ranger Sta, and the Ammon Guard Sta, reflecting a period of active forest management and rural ranching. The northern boundary touches the Hoopa Valley Indian Res, while numerous creeks like Supply Creek and Madden Creek drain the surrounding heights of Brannan Mtn and Titlow Hill.
