About this map

The Eel River carves a deep path through this section of Mendocino County, where the steep terrain is marked by isolated settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Nashmead sits along the river's winding course, serving as a central point in a landscape defined by ridges and canyons. To the west, Iron Peak rises above the drainage of White Rock Creek, while the remote settlement of Spyrock is reached by a network of winding mountain roads like Spyrock Rd and Willow Rd.

Tracing the northern reaches, Gas Mine Ridge and Shell Rock stand as prominent markers of the area's geological character. Further south, the map identifies small locales such as Woodman and Buck Rock, alongside natural features like Grapevine Spring and Eberle Ridge. The concentration of named roads, including Fitzhugh Rd and Simmerly Rd, suggests a long-standing history of rural habitation and land use tucked away in the river's many folds.
