About this map

Mina and the northern Mendocino highlands are defined by the deep incisions of the N Fork Eel River and its intricate drainage network. This area, largely remote and topographically complex, features scattered points of human presence such as the Lake Mountain Community Hall and the Delmonico Place. The landscape is a mosaic of high peaks like Wildhorse Peak and Little Baldy, interspersed with high-elevation basins such as Summit Valley and Wylettie Flat.

Water is a dominant theme of this terrain, ranging from the curiosly named Who-Who Lake and Who-Who Cr to the more substantial Gravelly Lake and Buck Mountain Lake. The road network, including the Mina Rd and Bald Mountain Rd, follows the ridges and valleys, connecting small settlements and ranching outposts. This map captures the intersection of traditional land use and the persistent wilderness of the Eel River watershed.
