About this map

Glenblair sits in the northwest of this Mendocino County landscape, where the headwaters of Pudding Cr and Little Valley Cr begin their descent toward the coast. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and ridges, including Ramsey Ridge and Riley Ridge, which separate the various forks of the Noyo River. Small clusters of activity at Redwood Lodge and Grove reflect the area's ongoing connection to timber and transit along the winding Fort Bragg-Sherwood Rd.

Named gulches such as Camp Four Gulch and Camp Eight Gulch suggest a history of organized labor and resource extraction in these steep drainages. To the south, the land rises toward Noyo Hill before dropping into the canyons of S Fork Hare Cr and Caspar Cr. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where historical logging routes like Company Ranch Rd and Logging Rd continue to shape the physical geography of this coastal forest region.
