2012 Map of Cold Spring

About this map

The Navarro River and Greenwood Cr define the drainage of this coastal Mendocino County landscape, where the interior terrain is marked by high ridges and family ranches. High-elevation landmarks like Cold Spring Mountain and the Cold Springs Fire Lookout provide overlooking views of the McAllister Ridge and S Fork Greenwood Cr. The map captures a transition between the lower river valleys and the upland clearings, specifically identified as openings in the timber, including Kane Opening, Hamilton Opening, and Brushy Opening. Ranching heritage is deeply rooted in this region, with numerous named properties such as Fashauer Ranch, Anderson Ranch, and McAllister Ranch scattered across the ridges. Roadways like Philo Greenwood Rd and Signal Ridge Rd follow the natural topography, connecting these isolated settlements and guest ranches to the larger river network.
