1952 Map of Hull Mountain

About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Eel River and numerous creeks carve through the ridges of Northern California. The mapping reveals a network of remote outposts and seasonal camps critical to forest management and local history during the mid-century, including the Plaskett Guard Sta and the Eel River Ranger Sta. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Hull Mountain and Black Butte, with human activity concentrated at sites like Plaskett Meadows and scattered family-named locations such as Carpenter Place and Keller Place. This era shows a transition in recreation and land use, evidenced by the presence of Masterson Campground and several backcountry camps like Lee Logan Camp and Graves Cabin. The map serves as a detailed record of the trails and early roads that once connected these isolated mountain reaches.
