1967 Map of Zenia

About this map

Kettenpom Valley serves as a notable geographic focal point in this remote portion of Six Rivers National Forest, where the transition from high ridgelines to fertile depressions shaped early Trinity County settlement. The map traces the essential infrastructure of these isolated communities during the late 1960s, featuring landmarks like the Kettenpom Lookout Tower and the Zenia Guard Station. Educational and social life is anchored by the Hoaglin-Zenia Sch and Clover School, while the presence of the Shannon Ranch and several camps like Bear Wallow Camp suggests a landscape defined by timber, ranching, and seasonal forestry work. The terrain is deeply incised by the North Fork Eel River and its tributaries, including Panther Creek and Wilson Creek, with specialized transport indicated by a network of Pack Trails and a designated Landing Strip near Kettenpom.
