1996 Map of Bartlett Mountain

About this map

Mendocino National Forest dominates this California landscape, where high ridge lines and deep creek drainages define the transition between the coastal mountains and the interior. The survey captures the area in the late 1990s, anchored by the settlement of Nice along the Lakeview Hwy at the southern edge. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Bartlett Mountain and the High Glade Lookout to the distinct meadow-like openings of Carter Glades and Wyman Glade. The network of watercourses, including Clover Creek and Middle Creek, illustrates a complex watershed that historically supported ranching at sites like Jones Ranch. The inclusion of family-named landmarks like Ladder Ridge and isolated points such as Red Rock provides essential context for researchers tracing the historical footprint of land use and fire observation in Lake County.
