About this map

Ornbaun Valley and its surrounding creek systems define this section of Mendocino County, where the historic Old Ornbaun Hot Springs sits at the foot of steep terrain. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including Rancheria Cr and the many branches of Mill Cr. This 2015 USGS survey reveals the intricate topography of the coastal ranges, characterized by prominent elevations like Grizzly Peak and Hawk Butte.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the location of the Ornbaun Springs Cemetery near the valley floor. The map also documents named geographic points such as Rush Bottom and Fruit Lake, while illustrating the reach of Anderson Valley in the north. The drainage patterns of Middle Fork Feliz Cr and Beebe Cr highlight the complex watershed that has historically influenced settlement and transport in this part of Northern California.
