About this map

Crockett Peak and the surrounding high country of the Mendocino National Forest define this landscape along the boundary of Lake and Colusa counties. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the depths of the Eel River drainage to the heights of Snow Mountain and Signal Peak. Local nomenclature reflects a rugged history of the region, including curiously named spots like the Kneecap Cabbage Patch and Bloody Rock.

Watershed divides are clearly visible here, with the Middle Fork Stony Creek flowing east toward the Sacramento Valley while Rattlesnake Creek and its tributaries feed the Eel River system to the west. Primitive routes like Widdle Nye provide access through the dense network of ridges, including Anderson Ridge and Peavine Ridge, which have long served as landmarks for those navigating these remote forest lands.
