About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines the rugged geography of this 1960s survey, straddling the boundary between Tehama and Glenn counties. The landscape is characterized by high, parallel ridges such as Log Spring Ridge, Kenny Ridge, and the distinctively named Hokey Pokey Ridge. This high-elevation country was a hub for forestry and seasonal activity, as evidenced by numerous named outposts like Saturday Camp, Dead Mule Camp, and Side Rod Camp.

Logistics in this remote terrain relied on a network of unpaved routes, including the Buttermilk Trail and several Jeep Trails. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Log Spring Station and small isolated dwellings like Bodkin Cabin and Powell Cabin. Water sources are critical identifiers here, from the prominent Log Spring to various glades like Hamilton Glade and Poison Glade that break up the dense forest cover.
