About this map

The high, ridged divide between Mendocino and Sonoma counties defines this 1991 survey, a landscape of isolated peaks and deep drainage networks. Human presence is concentrated around the small settlement of Billings in the northwest and Howlett Ranch near Horsethief Canyon, where the rugged topography has largely dictated the pattern of ranching and remote settlement.

A complex network of waterways, including the North Fork Rockpile Creek and the headwaters of Pardaloe Creek, carves through the terrain between prominent landmarks like Gube Mtn and Snook Mtn. The map traces long-established geographical features such as Burnt Ridge, Flat Ridge, and Hoover Ridge, illustrating the challenging environment of the Coast Ranges just before the turn of the 21st century.
