2015 Map of Leggett

About this map

Leggett and its surrounding communities are anchored by the South Fork Eel River as it winds through this northern Mendocino County landscape. The settlement pattern here follows the narrow valleys and flats, with Underwood Park, South Leggett, and Leggett Valley clustered near the junction of major corridors like N Highway 1 and Ca-271. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward Little Red Mtn in the north and the expansive Elkhorn Ridge to the south. Local topography is further marked by distinctive named features such as Big Bend and Pedro Opening, while small drainages like Big Dann Cr and Hollow Tree Cr carve the slopes. This survey provides a clear view of the residential pockets at Winkie Flat, Cedar Flat, and the more eastern settlement at Cummings, illustrating how the geography has dictated the placement of roads and small communities within this timber-rich region.
