2018 Map of Bartlett Mountain

About this map

Nice sits at the southern edge of this study, serving as a gateway to the steep ridges and hidden basins of the Mendocino National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Rice Fork flows northward while the southern canyons lead toward Clover Valley and the expansive Wilson Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain crisscrossed by essential fire management features, such as the Pitney Fuel Break, which follows the high ground of Pitney Ridge. The abundance of named water sources, including Sulphur Spring, Hazel Spring, and High Glade Spring, indicates a region where water accessibility was critical for both forest management and early high-altitude grazing. From the prominence of Bartlett Mtn to the depths of Swede Canyon, the map provides a detailed view of the remote interior of Lake County before recent environmental shifts.
