2015 Map of Brushy Mountain

About this map

Eden Valley and the surrounding high country of the Mendocino National Forest define this 2015 survey of California’s Coast Range. The landscape is characterized by prominent ridgelines like English Ridge and Bright Ridge, which overlook a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages. Notable water features include Brushy Lake and the Eel River, which cuts through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a largely undeveloped wilderness area, with isolated springs such as Buckhorn Spring and Ruckout Spring providing critical water sources in the steep terrain. Geologic and topographic features like Old Woman Canyon and Deep Hole Valley illustrate the erosion patterns typical of the region, while high points like Bald Mtn and Brushy Mountain offer significant vertical relief for those studying the area's physical geography.
