Planning a hunt near Hayfork? A useful Trinity County hunting map combines two sources: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. Covered here for Trinity County: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Trinity County hunting map
Around Shasta-Trinity National Forest, public hunting areas are mapped by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, along with seasons and regulations.
The viewer Trinity County publishes
Your first stop is the Trinity County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel from Shasta-Trinity National Forest to Six Rivers National Forest. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial and click the parcel itself, which applies near Trinity Alps Wilderness as much as anywhere. For a parcel near Douglas City, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Closer to Weaverville, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Recorder. For property near Shasta-Trinity National Forest, have ready the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Parcel lines for hunters
The lines are tax drawings, so stay well inside them near Coffee Creek; paint or posted signs on the ground matter too.

On site with the map

Finding a landowner
Out toward Six Rivers National Forest, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Reading the legal description
California is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Trinity Alps Wilderness is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Shasta-Trinity National Forest can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Trinity Alps Wilderness before you request a deed or survey.
Scouting from the aerial
On the aerial around Burnt Ranch, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Good habits afield
Leave gates as you found them on land near Weaverville, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Weaverville are with the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Hayfork need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Shasta-Trinity National Forest. If the land is near Hyampom, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Regulations to check
