2018 Map of Stonyford

About this map

Stonyford sits at the southern edge of this survey, marking a point of transition where the foothills of the Coast Range meet the floor of Indian Valley. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the western Sacramento Valley watershed, notably the convergence of Stony Creek and Little Stony Cr. To the west, the boundary of the Mendocino National Forest encompasses high-elevation features like the Black Diamond Ridge and the Black Diamond Glades, connected by a network of forest routes including Black Diamond Rd. The map illustrates a rural interior economy dependent on these water sources and access roads, such as Lodoga Stonyford Rd and Co Rd 306. This area remains characterized by its ridges, including Auk Auk Ridge and Gravelly Ridge, which flank the narrow valleys and seasonal drainages like Salt Cr and Briscoe Cr.
