1967 Map of Zenia

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this Trinity County terrain, where mid-century life followed the contours of high ridges and deep river valleys. The settlement of Zenia serves as a primary reference point near the Hoaglin-Zenia Sch, while the remote southern valley centers on Kettenpom and the Kettenpom Valley. A network of pack trails and jeep trails crisscrosses the landscape, linking outposts like the Zenia Guard Station and the Kettenpom Lookout Tower perched on Kettenpom Peak. Evidence of the local ranching and rural economy is found at Shannon Ranch and the Clover School, illustrating the spread of small communities throughout these highlands before the era of modern highway access. The mapping of Robbers Roost and the numerous springs and gulches, such as Line Gulch, highlights the importance of water sources and strategic high ground in this section of the North Fk Eel R drainage.
