About this map

Mendocino National Forest dominates this landscape in the late 1950s, characterized by high ridges and the complex drainage systems of the Rice Fork and Cache Creek. This survey reveals the specialized nomenclature of the high country, where features like Telegraph Rock and Lincoln Bluff provide orientation for those navigating the backcountry. The map captures a transition point in the local terrain, where the mountain slopes begin to descend toward the Clear Lake basin, seen here near the settlement of Nice along Lakeview Drive.

Resource and recreation landmarks such as Crabtree Lodge and Wild Bill Place suggest a history of seasonal residency and forest management. Higher elevations are marked by critical fire and observation points, most notably the VABM High Glade Lookout. Numerous water sources, including High Glade Spring and Forty Springs, are meticulously mapped, illustrating the vital role of these mountain seeps in the dry summer climate of the region.
