1951 Map of Stonyford

About this map

Stonyford serves as a vital mountain gateway on this mid-century survey, situated where the high ridges of the Mendocino National Forest meet the irrigation infrastructure of the East Park Reservoir. The map reveals a landscape defined by ranching and resource management, featuring the Stonyford Rancheria (Site) and scattered homesteads like Brittan Ranch and Meyers Cabin. The region's thermal geology is evident through several named mineral springs, including Pouts Springs, Champagne Spr, and Cooks Springs. Higher elevations are punctuated by fire lookouts at Sheetiron Mtn Lookout and Goat Mtn Lookout, overlooking the Snow Mountain State Game Refuge. Mining history is represented by the Ruby King Mine, while the valley floor shows the complex water management system of the Diversion and Canal along Stony Creek.
