2022 Map of Hall Ridge

About this map

Mendocino National Forest encompasses the high-relief terrain of the California Coast Ranges where the Tehama and Glenn County line bisects the landscape. The drainage patterns are defined by the Thomes Creek system, including the narrow passage of The Gorge and its surrounding high points like Gunsight and Hall Ridge. Settlement is sparse in this protected wilderness, marked primarily by isolated clearings and natural features such as Scotts Glade and Lake Hollow. Historic travel routes, such as the Paskenta-Mendocino Pass, traverse the ridgelines, providing access to a network of seasonal springs including Buck Spring, Commissary Spring, and Round Spring. The topography reveals a complex series of named ridges, from the prominent Digger Ridge to the southern reaches of Skidmore Ridge and Kilgore Ridge, reflecting the early naming conventions of local surveyors and foresters.
