About this map

The North Fork Eel River winds through this northern California landscape, forming a natural boundary for the Round Valley Indian Reservation. This 1960s survey documents the isolated settlement of Mina and the Delmonico Place homestead, illustrating the sparse human footprint in this mountainous region near the Trinity and Mendocino County line. The map captures a topography defined by steep ridges and high peaks, including Wildhorse Peak, Bald Mountain, and Buck Mountain.

Water sources are central to the geography here, with several high-elevation bodies like Who Who Lake, Gravelly Lake, and Lowrey Lake nestled between the summits. A network of names such as Asbill Creek, Ram Creek, and Hall Creek suggests a history of local ranching or early habitation. The presence of the Lake Mountain Community Hall and a Gaging Station on the river indicates the essential social and hydrological infrastructure serving this remote section of the Eel River watershed.
