About this map

Hull Mountain dominates this portion of the Mendocino National Forest, where the complex topography of Boardman Ridge and Thatcher Ridge marks the boundaries of Glenn, Mendocino, and Lake counties. The landscape is dotted with the remnants of early mountain life, including historic locations such as the Millsap Cabin (Site) and Graves Cabin (Site), as well as the singular landmark of Hulls Grave. These sites, along with established backcountry outposts like Cushman Camp and Lee Logan Camp, suggest a history of seasonal residence, forest management, and outdoor recreation in the decades following the mid-century.

Water plays a critical role in the orientation of this terrain, with the Middle Fork Eel River and the Eel River cutting through the northern sections. High-altitude features like Cushman Lake and Barley Lake provide landmarks for those navigating the primitive routes, such as the Covelo Upper Lake Road. From the rocky outcrops of Devils Rock Garden to the lookout point at Windy Gap, this map documents the established trails and remote camps of the late 20th-century forest interior.
