About this map

Brushy Mtn and its surrounding ridgelines define the high-elevation landscape of Mendocino County, where the headwaters of numerous creeks converge. This area is largely contained within the Mendocino National Forest, characterized by steep elevation changes between English Ridge and the drainages of the Eel River. The terrain features several distinct pockets of relatively level land, such as Eden Valley, Deep Hole Valley, and the seasonal Salt Flat, which contrast sharply with the surrounding peaks like Bald Mtn.

Access to this remote interior is provided by primitive routes such as the Hearst-Willits Rd and Hearst Rd. These corridors follow the natural topography, linking geographic landmarks like Low Gap and Bright Ridge. The intricate drainage system, including Twin Bridges Cr and Garcia Cr, highlights the importance of water sources in this environment, represented by named features like Buckhorn Spring and Rackout Spring.
