About this map

The Middle Fork Eel River carves a deep path through the center of this terrain, serving as the primary geographical axis for the surrounding ridges and canyons. To the north, the southern edge of Round Valley is visible, featuring the Pioneer Cem near the intersection of Hill Rd. This area reflects a landscape of cattle ranching and early mountain life, anchored by sites like the Eden Valley Ranch and the historical Marks Place (Site) near Salmon Creek.

The complex topography is defined by high points such as Bald Mountain and Round Mountain, with numerous springs—including Redwine Spring, Iron Spring, and Yellowjacket Spring—providing critical water sources across the steep divides of Jamison Ridge and Jarbow Ridge. The mapping of fence and field lines via 1988 aerial photography indicates the continued agricultural utility of valleys like Paradise Valley and the broader Eden Valley during the late twentieth century.
