About this map

The Mendocino National Forest defines the rugged character of this California landscape during the late 1960s. High-altitude landmarks like Crockett Peak and the dual summits of Snow Mtn West and Snow Mtn East anchor the topography, where the Lake and Colusa county line follows the natural crest. Human activity is represented primarily by a network of seasonal routes, including a Jeep Trail and various Pack Trail segments that navigate the sharp drainage basins of the Eel River and Stony Creek.

Remote encampments and natural features with evocative names suggest a history of hunting and mountain navigation, such as Bloody Rock, Skeleton Glade, and Thistle Glade. The northern half of the sheet is largely occupied by the State Game Refuge, bisected by numerous watercourses like Rattlesnake Creek and Cold Creek. This survey captures a moment before modern accessibility, when movement through this portion of the Coast Range relied on springs and established ridges like Peavine Ridge.
