1995 Map of Wrights Ridge

About this map

Mendocino National Forest and the Yolla Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape in Trinity County. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridgelines, including Wrights Ridge and Schoolmarm Ridge, which channel water into the Middle Fork Eel River. This remote region contains several seasonal camps and stations that speak to the forest management and backcountry recreation of the mid-1990s, such as the Indian Dick FS Station and Rock Cabin. The placement of Flournoy Cabin and Haynes Delight suggests early settlement or grazing claims deep within the forest interior. Water sources are critical landmarks here, with names like Sulphur Camp and Cherry Camp Spring indicating historical use by hunters and travelers traversing the many miles of trails shown throughout the quadrangle.
