About this map

Round Valley Indian Reservation boundaries meet the high-country terrain of northern California in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the steep transition between river drainages and prominent peaks like Buck Mountain and Little Baldy. Historical land use is visible through the notation of the Brown Ranch and former settlement locations such as Lightning Camp (Site) and Salt Rock Camp (Site), which point to the region's legacy of ranching and seasonal encampments.

The presence of the Yolla Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness and Mendocino National Forest indicates a territory managed for conservation and resource protection. This topography is etched by an intricate network of waterways, including Hulls Creek and Pepperwood Creek, while landmarks such as Bluenose Rock and Crazy Bear Pass serve as distinct navigational waypoints across the ridges. This edition reflects the complex jurisdictional intersections of federal, tribal, and private lands during the late 20th century.
