About this map

Cahto Peak rises as a central landmark in this Northern California landscape, capped by a Lookout Tower and a Radio Facility. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages feeding into the South Fork Eel River, including Tenmile Creek and Cahto Creek. To the east, the Laytonville Rancheria sits near the edge of the valley, while the community of Branscomb is established in the southwest along South Fork.

The map reveals a mix of public and private land use, from the Admiral Standley State Recreation Area to the numerous timber and fire roads crisscrossing the slopes. Local history and genealogy interest is found in locations like the Cem near the rancheria and secluded spots such as Peaceful Valley and Stolen Opening. The presence of a Landing Strip and Gravel Pit indicates the area's ongoing reliance on aviation for access and local resource extraction.
