About this map

Buchanan Ridge and Smith Ridge dominate this section of the Mendocino coast range, where the drainage of the Ten Mile River carves a complex network of gulches and creeks. Compiled from 1960s photography with 1990s revisions, the map reveals a landscape defined by industrial and agricultural footprints, notably the O'Conner Orchard in the north and a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary.

Remote settlements like Little Valley and the eponymous Dutchmans Knoll are connected by a web of unimproved dirt roads and trails, including Little Valley Rd. Named water features such as Abatobadink Creek and Bear Haven Creek suggest a legacy of local habitation and resource use in these steep canyons. The terrain is notably rugged, with high points like Bald Hill overlooking the many forks of the Ten Mile River system, illustrating the isolated character of this coastal timber and ranching region.
