About this map

The Trinity River and its South Fork anchor this 1952 field-checked study of the Humboldt and Trinity county line. Settlement is concentrated along these watercourses at Willow Creek, China Flat, and Salyer, where river-bottom bars like Sandy Bar and Hawkins Bar indicate the region’s hydraulic history. High-elevation landmarks define the surrounding terrain, from the prominence of Horse Mtn and its namesake Horse Mountain Mine to the remote Russell Cabin tucked away near Campbell Ridge.

Administrative presence in the Six Rivers National Forest is marked by the Lower Trinity Ranger Sta and the Ammon Guard Sta. For those tracing local development, the map captures essential community infrastructure including the Green Point School, several gaging stations, and a Footbridge crossing the South Fork. The northern reach includes a portion of the Hoopa Valley Indian Res, providing a clear view of the interface between tribal lands and national forest boundaries during the mid-century era.
