About this map

Hough Springs serves as a primary point of interest in this section of the Mendocino National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from high ridges to the expansive waters of the Indian Valley Reservoir. The terrain is marked by numerous glades and named ridges, such as Lone Pine Ridge and Soapstone Ridge, reflecting a history of land use focused on the forest's natural resources and spring-fed sites.

Remote springs like Complexion Spring, Bear Wallow Spring, and Dead Shot Spring are scattered throughout the drainages of N Fork Cache Cr and various forks of Mill Creek. The presence of Bartlett Springs Rd provides a historical transit corridor through the canyon systems, connecting high points like Pacific Point with the flats and glades of the eastern valleys. This area, straddling the Colusa and Lake County line, highlights the rugged drainage patterns that feed into the local reservoir system.
