2015 Map of Lincoln Ridge

About this map

Branscomb sits along the S Fork Eel River in this detailed 2015 study of the Mendocino County interior. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent northwest-trending elevations, including Lincoln Ridge, Alviso Ridge, and Packard Ridge, which separate numerous deep-cut watercourses. This map documents a dense network of drainages such as Hollow Tree Cr, Wages Cr, and Redwood Cr that feed into the larger river systems. Significant transit points like Huckleberry Pass and Lynch Gap provide passage through the steep terrain. The Presence of Wilderness Lodge Rd and Kenny Creek Rd reflects the rural, timbered character of this portion of Northern California, where topographic contours reveal the complex relationship between the ridgelines and the winding Horseshoe Bend of the Eel River.
