About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines the character of this mid-century survey, where the ridges and valleys of Lake County are marked by remote outposts and lookout stations. High-elevation vantage points like High Glade Lookout and Pinnacle Rock Lookout overlook a complex drainage system including the North Fork Cache Creek and Middle Creek. To the south, the settlement of Nice sits at the edge of the survey, while the interior is dotted with isolated landmarks such as Crabtree Lodge, Alley Camp, and Wild Bill Place. The landscape is etched with local history found in places like Carter Glades and Telegraph Rock. The network of trails and jeep tracks, such as those through Low Gap and across Ladder Ridge, reveals how this territory was navigated before extensive modern road development reached these higher elevations.
