1952 Map of Anthony Peak

About this map

The Mendocino National Forest defines the geography of this 1952 field survey, showing the complex administrative and recreational landscape of the Northern California mountains. This region is marked by a network of forest service outposts, including the Tantrum Glade Guard Station, Log Spring Guard Sta, and Low Gap Guard Sta, which were vital for fire lookouts and forest management during the mid-century era. Evidence of early settlement and recreational use is scattered throughout, from the Henderson Cabin (Site) and Lantz Cabin (Site) to the Girl Scout Camp and Wells Cabin Campground. The northern portion transition into the Yolla Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness Area, where prominent peaks like Anthony Peak and Uh Peak tower over numerous ridges and glades, illustrating the transition between active forest management and preserved wilderness.
