2021 Map of Dos Rios

About this map

The confluence of the Eel River and the Middle Fork Eel River defines this region of Mendocino County, where the settlement of Dos Rios sits at the base of several prominent ridges. The geography is characterized by steep canyons and named peaks such as Little Chemise Knob and Big Chemise Knob, which rise above the river valleys. Local transportation is anchored by Covelo Rd and Poonkinny Rd, routes that navigate the complex network of ridges like Hosea Ridge and Hog Hole Ridge. Small upland lakes including Howard Lake and Dead Cow Lake provide distinctive landmarks among the many creek drainages like Rock Cr and Rodeo Cr. Further south, the map identifies the settlement of Tatu and the geographic depression of Rodeo Valley, illustrating a landscape of isolated outposts connected by narrow mountain roads.
