About this map

Redwood Valley and its surrounding Mendocino County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Russian River and an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2018 survey documents the agricultural and residential patterns of the region, showing the importance of water management through features like the Powerhouse Canal and W Canal. To the west, the settlement of Laughlin sits near McGee Canyon, while the eastern hills are carved by the dramatically named Hells Delight Canyon.

The map reveals a high density of rural roads and family-named landmarks, such as Webb Ranch Rd and Jenkins Rd, reflecting the parceling of the valley floor for viticulture and ranching. Moving north, the terrain rises toward Pine Lake Basin and Dead Horse Canyon, showing the transition from the developed valley floor to the more remote canyons and ridges that separate Redwood Valley from the neighboring Potter Valley area.
