About this map

The Mayacmas Mountains and the Cow Mountain Ridge dominate this late-1950s survey of the California interior, where the Mendocino and Lake County line weaves through high basins and ridges. Along the southwestern edge, the Russian River flows parallel to the Northwestern Pacific railroad and U.S. Highway 101, marking a busy corridor near the Hoppland Fire Station.

Remote encampments and ranches are scattered throughout the difficult terrain, including Purdys Gardens, Eaglepoint Ranch, and the Fountain Of Youth Camp. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy holdings like the Ruddick Ranch and Dorst Ranch, or locate primitive landmarks such as James Cabin and Kelsey Cabin. The map also captures the Hopland Indian Reservation and the university research grounds at the Hopland Field Station.
