About this map

Covelo and the agricultural expanse of Round Valley anchor the western portion of this Mendocino County survey. The landscape transitions from the flat valley floor, marked by a grid of rural lanes like Frazier Ln and Haley Ln, into the steep, deeply incised canyons of the Mendocino National Forest. To the east, the Middle Fork Eel River winds through dramatic terrain, passing the Blueschist Narrows and several named river flats, including Simmerley Flat and Atkinson Flat.

Family and tribal history is deeply embedded in this geography, evidenced by the Round Valley Reservation Headquarters Cem, Nome Lackee Cem, and Yuki Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Asa Bean Ridge and George Lambert Canyon, reflect a legacy of ranching, indigenous heritage, and early settlement. The presence of numerous small drainages such as Poor Mans Cr and Short Cr illustrates the complex watershed feeding into the Eel River system.
