1996 Map of Plaskett Ridge

About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where a network of ridgelines like Etsel Ridge and Plaskett Ridge separate deep drainage basins. The map illustrates a history of mountain habitation and forestry management in the mid-1990s, recording numerous named sites such as O'Neil Place, Carpenter Place, and Keller Place. These locations, alongside Post Camp and the Grizzly Flat A S, suggest a legacy of seasonal grazing, fire lookout stations, or homesteading in the Mendocino wilderness.
