2021 Map of Brushy Mountain

About this map

EEL Wild and Scenic River carves a winding path through the southwest corner of this Mendocino County landscape, set within the western boundaries of the Mendocino National Forest. The terrain is defined by prominent north-south ridges including English Ridge and Bright Ridge, which flank the high point at Brushy Mtn. The map reveals a remote geography of interior basins like Eden Valley and Deep Hole Valley, where the transition between high mountain peaks and narrow creek canyons dictates the movement of water toward the larger river system. Human activity is largely confined to the winding Hearst Willits Rd, which navigates the complex topography through points like Low Gap. This area serves as a critical watershed, with numerous named springs and seasonal drainages such as Buckhorn Spring and Twin Bridges Cr providing the lifeblood for the surrounding forest ecology.
