2015 Map of Felkner Hill

About this map

Meyers Place and the historical site of Dogtown highlight the early settlement patterns within this corner of the Mendocino National Forest. Located along the boundary of Glenn and Lake counties, the landscape is defined by a complex network of high ridges and reliable water sources. Vital watering points like Jumbo Spring, Summit Springs, and Jerusalem Spring supported the travel and livestock operations in these highlands. The map shows the intersection of several notable geographic features, including Felkner Hill and Ivory Mill Saddle, which provided natural passes and vantage points. The presence of named locations such as Happy Camp Ridge and Lost Camp Ridge suggests a history of seasonal usage by early travelers and forest workers navigating the rugged terrain between the watersheds of N Fork Elk Cr and Briscoe Cr.
