About this map

Hough Springs serves as a focal point for this rugged terrain in the northern Coast Ranges, where the boundary between Colusa and Lake counties traverses high ridges. The landscape is defined by the significant footprint of the Indian Valley Reservoir, which captures the waters of North Fork Cache Creek. This mid-century view, updated in the late 1980s, highlights a network of water sources essential to the region, including Bear Wallow Spring, Stanton Spring, and Ford Spring.

Much of the area is contained within the Mendocino National Forest, characterized by prominent elevations such as Pacific Ridge, Indian Ridge, and Hough Ridge. The presence of numerous 4WD tracks and a Boat Ramp suggests a landscape utilized for both forest management and recreation. Distinctive landmarks like Split Rock and named glades such as Tule Glade and Stanton Glade provide specific points of reference for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family ties to these remote highlands.
