1981 Map of Four Corners Rock

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and the Mendocino National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the early 1980s, where the Yolla Bolly - Middle Eel Wilderness preserves a network of steep ridges and drainages. The Middle Fork Eel River serves as a primary watercourse, fed by numerous creeks including Yellowjacket Creek and Balm of Gilead Creek. Evidence of local habitation and resource management appears at Travis Ranch, Vann Cabin, and the Indian Dick FS Station. Prominent geological landmarks such as Four Corners Rock, Washington Rock, and Mikes Rock punctuate the ridgelines, while the Blue Jay Mine (Site) indicates the area's history of mineral exploration. The presence of several established campsites, such as Rock Cabin Camp, suggests the area's enduring role as a destination for backcountry travel and forestry operations.
