1996 Map of St. John Mountain

About this map

St John Mountain dominates this interior section of the Mendocino National Forest, where steep ridges and deep canyons define the landscape. Within the Snow Mountain Wilderness, the map reveals a remote network of trails and primitive camps, including Upper Nye Camp and Happy Camp. Human presence is marked by isolated sites like Meyers Cabin and the Brittan Ranch near the Glenn and Colusa County line. The complex drainage system is centered on Stony Creek, fed by the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork. Notable landforms such as Sheetiron Mountain, Fellkner Ridge, and Bear Wallow are documented alongside specialized infrastructure like the Communication Site on the peak of St. John Mountain. This revision shows the area as it was managed in the mid-1990s, highlighting the enduring nature of these protected mountain lands.
