2018 Map of Bell Springs

About this map

Bell Springs stands as the primary namesake settlement in this section of the northern Inner Coast Ranges, situated along the historic route of Bell Springs Rd. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, bridging the border between Trinity and Mendocino counties. To the south, Mail Ridge provides a high-elevation spine above the deeply incised drainages of Blue Rock Cr and Cruso Cabin Cr. Distinctive geologic landmarks such as White Slide, Camel Rock, and Blue Rock dot the steep slopes, while Island Mtn dominates the northeastern corner. The mapping shows a remote network of ranch and access roads, including Lundblade Ranch Rd and Red Mountain Rd, which navigate the complex topography of the Bell Springs Mtn area, reflecting the region's enduring character as a sparsely populated frontier of rugged ranch land and watershed.
