1966 Map of Lincoln Ridge

About this map

Lincoln Ridge and Packard Ridge dominate this mid-century look at the remote northern California interior, where the South Fork Eel River winds through narrow valleys. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, with numerous watercourses like Hollow Tree Creek, Wages Creek, and Jack of Hearts Creek cutting through the steep terrain. The presence of Wilderness Lodge in the northeast and agricultural clearings such as Baptiste Orchard and Strauss Orchard indicate a mix of seasonal recreation and small-scale cultivation nestled within the timberlands.
