2022 Map of Potato Hill

About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where a network of ridges and springs dictates the pattern of access and land use. Natural water sources are central to the geography of this area, ranging from the prominent Crabtree Hot Springs and Madrone Spring to high-altitude water bodies like Timber Lake and Blue Slides Lake. The terrain is characterized by massive features such as Potato Hill, Little Horse Mtn, and Long Ridge, while lower-lying areas like Rice Valley and Richardson Glade provide breaks in the topography. An extensive network of trails and fire roads, including the Blue Slides Trl and Big Ridge Trl, connects these remote points across the Lake and Colusa county line, illustrating the modern management and recreational navigation of this wilderness area.
