1967 Map of Newhouse Ridge

About this map

Mendocino National Forest encompasses this landscape where the Middle Fork Eel River and the Black Butte River converge. The terrain is defined by complex ridges such as Etsel Ridge, Newhouse Ridge, and Anthony Ridge, which dictate the paths of numerous pack trails and jeep roads used for fire management and backcountry access. Scattered evidence of human activity is found at isolated outposts like the McClure Place and Bauer Ranch, illustrating the remote nature of 1960s ranching and land management in this part of California.
