2015 Map of Dos Rios

About this map

The confluence of the Eel River and the Middle Fork Eel River defines this Mendocino County landscape, where the small settlement of Dos Rios sits at the water's meeting point. Further south along the banks of the main river, the community of Tatu is situated amidst a topography of steep canyons and high ridges. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment dominated by geographic landmarks like Big Chemise Knob and Hosea Ridge, alongside more remote high-country water features such as Howard Lake and Dead Cow Lake. The area's character is one of deep drainages, including Little Water Canyon and Big Water Canyon, highlighting the complex drainage network feeding into the Eel River system. To the northwest, the map identifies Indian Springs, while the eastern portion is marked by the distinctive Inspiration Point overlooking Kelly Canyon.
