About this map

Ackley Ranch serves as a historical anchor on this landscape, marking the site of a frontier-era military post near the southern edge of the survey. The map details a remote section of Humboldt County where family-named properties like Stapp Ranch, Singleton Ranch, and Becham Cabin are scattered across the mountainous terrain of the Six Rivers National Forest.

The hydrography is dominated by the winding path of the Mad River in the north and the Duzen River in the south, connected by a network of drainage systems like Bloody Run and Showers Creek. The presence of Olsen Crossing and Showers Pass indicates established routes through the steep ridges and flats. High points such as Showers Mtn and Pilot Rock provide a sense of the vertical scale and isolated character of this region during the late 1970s.
