2015 Map of Mendocino Pass

About this map

Anthony Peak and Anthony Ridge dominate the high-altitude terrain where Mendocino, Tehama, and Glenn counties converge. This 2015 study of the Mendocino National Forest shows a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, from the heights of Uhl Peak down to the Black Butte River. The road network is sparse, consisting primarily of the Paskenta-Mendocino Pass road and Forest Highway Seven, reflecting the territory's use for forestry and remote homesteading. Several family-named landmarks suggest the history of mountain ranching or seasonal habitation in this part of the Coast Range, specifically Hardy Place, Bredehoft Place, and Bollinger Place. Water sources are vital markers in this terrain, including named points like Seven Troughs Spring, Lightning Spring, and Sugar Spring. The map traces the natural drainage patterns of Grindstone Cr and Blue Slide Cr through a complex series of ridges including Cattle Ridge Point and Board Ridge.
