1968 Map of Fouts Springs

About this map

Fouts Springs serves as a primary point of interest in this high-elevation reach of the Mendocino National Forest, where the landscape is defined by steep ridgelines and numerous springs. The area shows a transition from historical remote camps and cabins, such as Sanborn Cabin and Red Rock Cabin, toward developed recreational sites like the Mill Valley Campground and Black Oak Campground. Water is a defining element of this terrain, with the South Fork Stony Creek and Little Stony Creek cutting through the mountains. Noteworthy landmarks like the Lookout Tower on Goat Mountain and the Landing Strip near Davis Flat highlight the mid-century infrastructure for fire management and backcountry access. This survey captures the complex topography of the Lake and Colusa County border, marked by distinctive clearings known as glades, including Welton Glade and Deafy Glade.
