About this map

The Eel River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a rugged transition into the Mendocino National Forest. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by steep ridges and deep drainages, including the Middle Fork Stony Creek and Anderson Creek. High-elevation landmarks like Crockett Peak and Signal Peak overlook a network of primitive access routes, including various labeled Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that served backcountry travelers and forest managers of the era.

Local history is preserved in the location of remote outposts and recreational sites such as Milk Ranch and Lower Nye Campground. The map also captures the State Game Refuge boundary as it existed at the time of the field check in 1967. Notable landmarks like Bloody Rock and the twin summits of Snow Mountain East and Snow Mtn West provide a detailed look at the geographic character of the Lake and Colusa County line.
