About this map

Snow Mountain dominates the high-altitude topography of this 1967 field survey, where the border of Lake and Colusa counties meets within the Mendocino National Forest. This section of the Inner Coast Ranges is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and remote peaks, including Crockett Peak and Signal Peak. The land use of the late 1960s is reflected in a system of utilitarian waypoints and campsites accessible by a primitive network of roads and trails.

Remote outposts such as Milk Ranch and Waters Camp suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing or forestry, while the State Game Refuge indicates managed conservation areas along Cold Creek. Detailed topography reveals the sharp relief between the Eel River and its numerous high-country tributaries like Grapevine Creek and Hummingbird Creek. Geographic markers like Bloody Rock and Skeleton Glade provide distinct landmarks for those tracing the historical footprint of Northern California's wilderness areas.
