Willow Creek to South Tab Mt. in Trinity Co., Cal.
road again climbs a ridge that separates
the Maple Creek drainage from the north.
The elevation at this ridge is 1200 ft. Between
the stream and the summit the road
runs parallel to the edge of virgin timber.
The distance between the road and the timber
is variable between 100 and 300 yards.
Canotus has come in and dominated
the area between the timber and the road.
Most of the plants are 10-14 feet tall. Below
the road and on the west facing slopes
the area is similar to that between the
timber and the road.
Just over the summit one runs into
timbered slopes again. The timber is
broken however in small areas by
grassy slopes. Ranchers around this
opening use them as pastures for
their cattle. From the summit the road
descends three miles to a point where
the road crosses Maple Creek. All the
area just described has a variety of
habitats running from virgin timber, brush,
vals, grassland to stream bed of Aldus.
At the crossing at Maple Creek a small
logging outfit is now working.
Just after crossing the stream one finds
all the land on both sides of the road
