About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines the rugged divide between Glenn and Lake Counties in this 2018 survey. The landscape is marked by a complex network of named ridges and canyons, including the prominent Felkner Hill and Bowman Ridge. The presence of Ivory Mill Saddle and the associated Ivory Mill Rd suggests a legacy of timber history in this remote section of Northern California. Water resources are primarily found in high-elevation seeps like Jumbo Spring and Hayward Spring, which feed the many creeks cutting through the terrain, such as Clover Cr and Dutch Oven Cr.

Named camps and clearings like Dogtown, Lost Camp Ridge, and Happy Camp Ridge reflect the area's use as a seasonal hunting or forestry outpost. Specialized infrastructure is scarce, though a Rain Gauge is noted near Tool Cache Ridge. This map provides a clear picture of the modern forest management road system, including named routes like Ponderosa Way and the Briscoe Cutoff, which serve as the primary access points through this backcountry.
