About this map

Stonyford and its surrounding valleys characterize this part of Colusa County, where the settlement meets the eastern edge of the Mendocino National Forest. The landscape is a complex of named ridges and drainages, with Gilmore Peak serving as a central geographic anchor. Water management and natural springs are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the presence of East Park Reservoir on Little Stony Creek and the historical interest of Cooks Springs to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Stonyford Cemetery clearly marked near the junction of Fouts Spring Rd and Lodoga Stonyford Rd. The map also preserves the nomenclature of the backcountry, including family-named or descriptive landmarks such as Sullivan Valley, Crackerbox Ridge, and the Hornet Nest features. These labels provide a record of the ranching and timber heritage that has shaped the human footprint in these foothills.
