About this map

The S Fork Eel River winds through the southwestern corner of this Mendocino County landscape, near the settlement of Branscomb. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by high summits like Cahto Peak, Signal Peak, and Black Oak Mtn, interconnected by a complex network of ridgeline roads such as Cahto Peak Rd and Kenny Creek Rd. The geography is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Cahto Cr, Tenmile Cr, and Mud Springs Cr, which flow through steep drainages like Paralyze Canyon.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of the Branscomb Cem and Mud Creek Cem near the river, as well as the Laytonville Rancheria Cem located to the east. Distinctive landmarks such as Stoten Opening, Wise Gulch, and the prominent Big Rock offer concrete points of reference for those studying land use and historical property boundaries in this part of northern California.
