About this map

Navarro stands as a focal point in this 2012 survey, situated along the Navarro River where the N Fork Navarro River joins from the north. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep gulches and ridges that speak to the area's history of timber and ranching. Private holdings such as the Royale Redwoods Ranch, Ingram Ranch, and Fashauer Ranch are spread across the terrain, while former logging and camp sites like Camp Navarro and Camp Sixteen Gulch indicate the long-standing industrial use of these hills.

Transport through the Mendocino hills is traced by winding routes like Comptche Ukiah Rd and the Masonite Industrial Rd, reflecting the movement of resources toward the coast. Notable landmarks such as Keene Summit and Mouse Pass provide topographic orientation, while numerous drainages like Dutch Henry Cr, John Smith Cr, and Soda Cr feed into the river system. The presence of Tramway Gulch and Cookhouse Gulch offers a glimpse into the vernacular names left behind by historical labor camps and resource extraction.
