About this map

Round Valley dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the settlement of Covelo serves as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and residential land. The map illustrates the structured layout of the valley floor, marked by distinct thoroughfares like Henderson Road and Foothill Blvd, alongside educational landmarks including Round Valley High School and the 7th Day Adventist School. This settled agricultural basin stands in sharp contrast to the high, ridged terrain to the west.

The western uplands are defined by a series of prominent rises such as Poonkinny Ridge, Gas Mine Ridge, and Windy Ridge. These areas are navigated primarily by a network of trails and jeep tracks, indicating a less densely populated region focused on resource extraction or grazing. Cultural features like Valley View Cemetery and the Pine Grove Cemetery provide valuable points of reference for genealogical research, while the Round Valley Indian Reservation Boundary delineates the significant administrative and cultural borders of the era.
