1958 Map of Elledge Peak

About this map

The Russian River valley south of Ukiah is the central artery of this Mendocino County landscape, where the Northwestern Pacific railroad and the Redwood Highway parallel the water. The terrain transitions from the valley floor to the prominent Mayacmas Mountains in the east and heights like Elledge Peak and Cleland Mountain to the west. Agriculture and ranching define the local economy, evidenced by a string of named properties along the valley floor including the El Robles Ranch, W L Crawford Ranch, and Burnie Hill Ranch.
