About this map

Mina and the remote outpost at Delmonico Place sit within the high ridges of Mendocino and Trinity counties, where the North Fork Eel River carves a deep valley through the mountains. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape of high meadows and isolated water sources, including Who Who Lake and Buck Mountain Lake. The terrain is characterized by broad flats and valleys such as Summit Valley, Hulls Valley, and Wylettie Flat, which stand in contrast to prominent landmarks like Little Baldy and Wildhorse Peak.

A network of ridge-running roads, notably Mina Rd and Bald Mountain Rd, connects these upland sites. Smaller drainages like Ram Spring Cr, Asbill Cr, and the curious Who Who Cr network flow into the main river system, illustrating the complex hydrology that supported early settlement in this part of Northern California. The map documents the enduring geography of cattle country and mountain homesteads long after the era of initial expansion.
