1996 Map of Lake Pillsbury

About this map

Lake Pillsbury serves as the central focal point of this Mendocino National Forest landscape, where the waters of the Eel River and several creek systems are held by the Scott Dam. The reservoir's shoreline is dotted with recreation and ranching history, including the Gravelly Valley Navy Camp Recreation Area and various private holdings such as Lake Pillsbury Ranch, Fuller Ranch, and Faraway Ranch. This survey captures the region as a hub for outdoor activity and remote residency, featuring established sites like Soda Creek Resort and the Lake Pillsbury Pines Resort. High-altitude terrain, including Bear Mountain and Boardman Ridge, encloses the valley, while smaller geographical features like Little Squaw Valley and Coyote Rocks define the intricate topography of northern Lake County.
