About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape within Lake County and Mendocino County as it was surveyed in the mid-1960s. The map highlights a history of small-scale industry and early settlement through labels like Enterprise and the Prather Mill (Site). The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Bucknell Creek and Bevans Creek, which flow around prominent peaks including Elk Mountain and Horse Mountain.

Transport and utility infrastructure of the era are visible through the Howard Mill Station and Elk Mtn Station, while recreational sites like Middle Creek Campground and Deer Valley Campground indicate the land's transition to public forest use. A network of pack trails and jeep trails connects isolated water sources such as the Lone Pine Water Trough and White Pebble Spring, reflecting the difficult access typical of this portion of the Coast Ranges.
