2015 Map of Jamison Ridge

About this map

Middle Fork Eel River snakes through the center of this Mendocino County landscape, carving deep canyons between high ridges like Jamison Ridge and Jarbow Ridge. This 2015 edition captures a transition from the level floor of Round Valley in the northwest corner toward the remote interior mountains. To the south, the terrain descends into Paradise Valley and Eden Valley, the latter featuring Toney Cr. Local history is anchored by Pioneer Cemetery near Hinman Ln, while the presence of Marks Place suggests a legacy of homesteading or early ranching in this isolated terrain. The map is heavily marked by numerous natural springs, such as Redwine Spring, Iron Spring, and Jarbow Spring, which historically supported life and livestock along the steep divides of Pedro Ridge and the Salt Creek Divide.
