2012 Map of Board Camp Mountain

About this map

Dinsmores sits at the edge of this Humboldt County terrain, where the Mad River carves through a landscape defined by dramatic ridgelines and isolated outposts. The 2012 survey documents a series of established homesteads and high-elevation shelters, including Bartlett Ranch in the north and Deer Creek Ranch to the south. Notable landmarks such as Nolan Cabin, Upper Joe Green Cabin, and Ridge Cabin highlight a history of seasonal occupation and ranching. The topographic structure is punctuated by named clearings or "openings," such as White Oak Opening and Starvation Opening, which suggest specific localized grazing or logging histories. High points like Board Camp Mountain Tri Board Camp and Board Camp Butte dominate the central geography, overlooking a complex drainage network that includes Grouse Cr and Redwood Cr. The map also traces established routes like the S Fork Mountain Rd and Whiting Ridge Trl, essential for navigating this interior forest territory.
