1967 Map of Hall Ridge

About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines the rugged character of this interior landscape, where the boundary between Tehama and Glenn counties follows a series of prominent ridges. Settlement patterns here in the mid-1960s were largely tied to resource management and high-elevation agriculture, as evidenced by Davies Orchard, Conklin Orchard, and Valley View Orchard. These family-named clearings and stations like Whitlock Place suggest a history of seasonal mountain life and fruit cultivation tucked into the drainages of Thomes Creek and Grindstone Creek.
