1952 Map of Paskenta

About this map

Paskenta sits at the base of the eastern foothills of the Northern Coast Ranges, serving as a gateway to the Mendocino National Forest in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the transition from the valley floor to high ridges like Raglin Ridge and Riley Ridge. Numerous named orchards and family ranches, including the Valley View Orchard and Finnell Ranch, illustrate the region's agricultural character at this time. To the north, the Lowrey Sch (Aband) and Kleinsorge Mine point to earlier eras of rural industry and education.
