1967 Map of Riley Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Mendocino National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Tehama County, where the steep terrain is carved by the headwaters of South Fork Elder Creek and Middle Fork Elder Creek. This 1967 field-checked survey highlights a remote network of survival and industry, featuring the South Elder Mine and the timber-related operations at Patton Mill. Named family locations such as Kleinsorge Place, Pelton Place, and Steuben Place suggest a history of homesteading and high-country ranching. Strategic peaks like Eagle Peak and Round Mtn served as critical observation points, evidenced by the Lookout Tower and Radio Tower. Primitive transit routes including Ball Rock Road and various Jeep Trails connect isolated landmarks like Riley Cabin and Whiskey Saddle, illustrating how the forest was managed and utilized during the mid-20th century.
