1995 Map of Leech Lake Mountain

About this map

Leech Lake Mountain stands as a prominent landmark within this 1995 revision of the northern California wilderness, where the Mendocino National Forest meets the Yolla Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Middle Fork Eel River, designated here as a Scenic River. Historical human activity is marked by isolated outposts and early travel routes, including the Osborn Station and Travelers Home. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Foster Ranch, Reeves Place, and the curiously named Hotel Camp. The intricate topography of Taliaferro Ridge and Pine Ridge is punctuated by seasonal water sources like Bear Trap Spring and remote meadows including Airplane Meadow. This survey highlights the intersection of the Trinity and Mendocino county lines amidst a network of high-elevation glades and flats.
