MENDOCINO COUNTY GEOGRAPHY

MAP OF CALIFORNIA

The Mendocino County map is shown below, with Mendocino County outlined on the California reference map at the right. Mendocino County is outlined as you can see, around Ukiah, the county seat.

With a land area of 3,510 square miles, the elevation runs from sea level at the Pacific ocean to 6,954 feet atop Anthony Peak to the northeast. To the north, the town of Laytonville holds the geographical distinction of being located at the highest elevation of any community located along U.S. 101 from Baja California to Canada, at 1,620 feet above sea level.

Inland from 129 miles of magnificent coastline, the diverse environment is as varied as the terrain.

Mendocino County Map World-class wine vineyards thrive in the valleys, while stands of redwoods and douglas fir tower down from the Pacific Coast Range. Diverse micro-climates benefit from having four seasons and 40 to 100 plus inches of annual rainfall, depending on the location, elevation, and of course ... the weather.

While the Russian River flows south from above Ukiah, hundreds of miles of the Eel River and its' tributaries flow north to empty into the Pacific.

For an armchair viewing, the helicopter chase scenes in the movie Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman were filmed in and along the Eel river basin.

Other visuals of Mendocino County can be found in The Haunting of Seacliff Inn, Overboard, Dying Young, and The Russians Are Coming, The Rusians Are Coming. These are but a few of more than forty plus films made in Mendocino County since the turn of the century. Recently a new film, Heartwood, was partially filmed in the northwestern area of the county.
