2018 Map of Saint John Mountain

About this map

Saint John Mtn and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Mendocino National Forest define this landscape at the intersection of Colusa, Glenn, and Lake Counties. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs, including Middle Fork Stony Cr, Briscoe Cr, and Sheetiron Spring, which have shaped the movement through these ridges for generations. Smaller settlements and designated locales like Bonnie View, Red Rock, and Low Gap provide points of reference within a landscape largely dominated by significant geographical features such as Felkner Ridge and Black Diamond Ridge. The inclusion of named fire roads and trails, such as Ponderosa Way and Open Ridge-Black Diamond, highlights the modern management of these wooded lands while preserving the traditional place-names used by local inhabitants and early surveyors.
