About this map

Dogtown and the agricultural outpost of El Manzano Rancho anchor this mid-1990s revision of the Mendocino National Forest along the border of Glenn and Lake counties. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Elk Creek and South Fork Elk Creek, which carve through prominent ridgelines like Bowman Ridge and McGill Ridge.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is found in the network of light-duty roads and unimproved tracks, such as Ponderosa Way and Ivory Mill Road. The map identifies specific local sites including the Dixon Orchard and Vanderford Cabin, alongside various mountain camps like Butler Camp and Hacks Camp. From the heights of Summit Springs Hill to the valley of Clover Creek, the survey illustrates the rugged character of this interior California timber and ranching region during the transition to modern forest management.
