1967 Map of Covelo East

About this map

Round Valley serves as a distinct geographical bowl in the northern California interior, dominated by the Round Valley Indian Reservation and the town of Covelo. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of ranching and remote settlement where family names define the local infrastructure, seen in routes like Fairbanks Lane, Hurt Road, and Hanson Lane. The area's cultural history is marked by sites such as Nome Lackee Cem and Yuki Cem, while the Middle Fork Eel River winds through the eastern ridges past Atkinson Flat and Etsel Flat. The western valley floor is dotted with numerous water wells and civic markers, including a Ranger Station and Landing Strip, illustrating a community deeply connected to its agricultural roots and the surrounding mountain ridges like Bluenose Ridge and Dingman Ridge.
