1968 Map of Stonyford

About this map

Stonyford serves as the primary gateway to the eastern flanks of the Mendocino National Forest, where the transition from valley floor to upland ridge is clearly defined by the course of Stony Creek. The landscape is dominated by complex ridgelines including Gravelly Ridge and Black Diamond Ridge, framing the productive grazing lands of Green Valley and Indian Valley. Local education history is grounded at the Indian Valley Sch near the southern edge of the survey, while the area's natural mineral wealth is suggested by several Prospect sites and named water sources like Sulphur Spring and Salt Spring. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations such as Elephant Hill and Sugarloaf Hill, with a network of Jeep Trails providing access to the higher elevations and fire lookouts along the Glenn Co and Colusa Co boundary line.
