1991 Map of Burbeck

About this map

The Noyo River and Burbeck River carve through this Mendocino County landscape, where the settlements of Shake City and Burbeck sit along the narrow watercourses. This 1991 provisional map captures a remote section of the California Coast Ranges characterized by deep gulches and high ridges, including Three Chop Ridge and Soda Basin. To the south, a portion of the Jackson State Forest covers the terrain, with James Creek Road providing limited access through the timberlands. Smaller outposts like Crowley, Summit, and Broaddus are situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks, such as Mill Creek and Willits Creek. The map reflects a landscape defined by its rugged hydrology, where named features like Twin Rocks and Seven Gulch serve as critical landmarks for navigating the dense, forested interior far from the main coastal thoroughfares.
