About this map

Mendocino National Forest encompasses the high, ridged landscape of the inner Coast Range, where the triple-point intersection of Lake, Glenn, and Colusa counties meets. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Saint John Mtn and the deep drainage of the Middle Fork Stony Cr. These watercourses, including N Fork Stony Cr and Dark Hollow Cr, establish the primary geographic grain of the territory, carving through prominent features like Felkner Ridge and Black Diamond Ridge.

Access to this remote backcountry is documented through a network of established paths such as Meyers Trl and the Bear Willow Trl. While largely unpopulated, the map identifies small named locales like Bonnie View at the southern boundary and Bowery Flat to the west. This 2022 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary state of the Pleasant Valley area, illustrating how historic trail networks continue to navigate the steep gaps like Low Gap and the volcanic-named Red Rock.
