About this map

Philo and the Navarro River corridor serve as the primary focus of this Mendocino County landscape, where the narrow valley floor transitions into steep ridges. The region’s economic and natural history is evidenced by landmarks such as Philbrick Mill and the expansive Anderson Valley. A network of creeks, including Rancheria Cr and Anderson Cr, deeply dissects the terrain, creating a complex series of gulches and canyons like Ham Canyon and Parkinson Gulch.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant sites including the Shields Cem and Evergreen Cem, alongside family-named topographic features like Clow Mtn, Whipple Ridge, and Lambert Ridge. The map also traces established transportation and recreation routes, from the winding Philo Greenwood Rd to the footpaths of Henry Woods State Park, such as the Eagle Trl and Hermit Hut Trl. Near the southern edge, the Boonville Airport and Murray Opening mark the edge of the valley’s reach before the terrain rises toward Redwood Ridge Rd.
