About this map

Dos Rios sits at the vital confluence of the Eel River and the Middle Fork Eel River, serving as a central point in this rugged Mendocino County landscape. Based on mid-1960s photography with updates from the late 1980s, the map illustrates a region defined by its water systems and steep canyon topography. The settlement of Deer Lodge appears in the northern reaches, while the river banks are marked by technical infrastructure like the Gaging Station and various river-crossings along the Dos Rios Road.

Upland from the river forks, the terrain rises toward prominent peaks such as Big Chemise Knob and Inspiration Point. Small alpine lakes including Poonkinny Lake, Howard Lake, and Grassy Lake are scattered across the high ridges. This survey captures the rural character of the area where Rodeo Valley and numerous creek drainages like Burger Creek and Doghouse Creek provide the primary geographic framework for local land use and transport.
