About this map

The Navarro settlement sits at the confluence of the Soda Cr and the N Fork Navarro River in the heart of Mendocino County’s timber country. This terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges, where historically significant names like Camp Sixteen Gulch and Tramway Gulch point to the legacy of early logging operations and the infrastructure required to move timber through the steep landscape. To the north, the S Fork Albion River drains toward the coast, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the prominent Greenwood Ridge and the winding Navarro River.

Notable landmarks such as Bald Hill and Keene Summit provide high-ground orientation above the deep drainages of Dutch Henry Cr and Flynn Cr. Local history is embedded in the nomenclature of family and industrial sites, from Peat Pasture Gulch to the curiously named Hole In The Wall passage. The map details a complex system of ridge roads and valley floor trails, including Masonite Rd and Navarro Ridge Rd, which have served as primary transit corridors for generations.
