About this map

Willits serves as the central hub of this northern California landscape, situated within the broad expanse of Little Lake Valley. The town's grid is bisected by the Northwestern Pacific RR, while the surrounding terrain is defined by complex water systems including Outlet Creek, Baechtel Creek, and Haehl Creek. To the south, the map identifies the settlement of Muir and Muir Canyon, illustrating the late-2010s suburban and rural development patterns of Mendocino County.

The topography transitions sharply from the valley floor to prominent heights like Big Darby Peak and Tenney Peak. Local history is anchored by sites such as Willits Cemetery and Little Lake Cemetery, while the Ells Field-Willits Municipal Airport marks the western edge of the valley. This survey provides a detailed view of the modern infrastructure and natural boundaries, from Manzanita Flat in the southeast to the northern reaches of Wheelbarrow Valley.
