Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain Boggs Mountain is a mountain the Mayacamas Mountains in Lake County, California. Part of the mountain holds the Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest. About 80% of the trees were burned in the September 2015 Valley Fire.
Name
In the early days of settlement of Lake County, the mountain was called Harbin Mountain after a settler named James M. Harbin who around 1856 took control of the land occupied by the Harbin Hot Springs, and gave his name to the springs and the mountain.Шаблон:Sfn An 1890 description by the State Mineralogist used this name to refer to the mountain.Шаблон:Sfn Later the mountain took the name Boggs Mountain.Шаблон:Sfn This name honors Henry C. Boggs (1820–1898), an early settler and entrepreneur in Lake County.Шаблон:Sfn The name Harbin Mountain survives, referring to a high point above Harbin Hot Springs on a ridge that comes down to the south from Boggs Mountain.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn
Location
Boogs Mountain is located in Lake County, California. It is Шаблон:Convert high, in the heart of the Mayacamas Mountains, facing the Шаблон:Convert Cobb Mountain across Cobb Valley.Шаблон:Sfn The mountains are in the California Coast Ranges.Шаблон:Sfn Boggs Mountain is one of the mountains in the Cobb Mountain Area, many of which have volcanic origin. Others are Cobb Mountain, the most dominant, Mount Hannah and Seigler Mountain. There are isolated small valleys and basins between the mountain peaks.Шаблон:Sfn
A deep gap more than Шаблон:Convert deep separates Boggs Mountain from the taller Cobb Mountain to the west.Шаблон:Sfn A ridge runs southeast from Mount Hannah to Boggs Mountain, separating Seigler Creek from Kelsey Creek.Шаблон:Sfn Boggs Mountain forms a topographical divide separating Big Canyon Creek to the east from Kelsey Creek to the west.Шаблон:Sfn
Description
Boggs Mountain is an elongated rolling highland.Шаблон:Sfn The mountain takes the form of a simple ridge crest from which long spurs run southeast to Putah Creek.Шаблон:Sfn It is a prominent feature at the southeast end of the Clear Lake Volcanic Field.Шаблон:Sfn Around Шаблон:Convert above sea level the topography levels out. The upper part of the mountain is similar to a plateau cut by several drainage channels.Шаблон:Sfn
The mountain is capped with andesitic lavas covering about Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The well-drained soils have been formed from volcanic materials that overlay the Franciscan assemblage, which include sandstone, shale, chert, greenstone and igneous and metamorphics, including serpentinite.Шаблон:Sfn
Forestry
Henry C. Boggs was an early settler in Lake County who was active in ranching, property, timber and banking in the late 19th century.Шаблон:Sfn In 1878 he bought timberland tracts within what is now Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest.Шаблон:Sfn He and his partners began logging the Boggs Mountain in the early 1880s, the first known use by Europeans.Шаблон:Sfn From 1880 to 1885 one of his sons ran two sawmills on the northeast of the mountain.Шаблон:Sfn Lumber was need for underground supports in the borax mine at Borax Lake, north of Clearlake, and in the Sulphur Bank Mine. Wood was also needed for the mines' reducing furnaces. Most of this came from the volcanic uplands of Kelsey Creek and neighboring watersheds.Шаблон:Sfn
By the end of the 19th century most of the prime timber in the Boggs Mountain area had been cleared, and the land was mainly being used for pasturage rather than timber.Шаблон:Sfn As of 1890 the higher crest of the mountain was volcanic and still densely timbered. Lower down the spurs were unaltered or slightly altered sandstone and shales, with scattered oaks, partly covered with chamise.Шаблон:Sfn
Jim McCauley became the owner of the mountain in the 1920s. In the 1920s and 1930s he limited logging in the forest to scattered, over-mature trees, with no clear cutting.Шаблон:Sfn When McCauley died in 1941 his property was divided between seven nieces and nephews.Шаблон:Sfn In the mid-1940s a major fire swept through the northwestern part of the Boggs Mountain forest.Шаблон:Sfn In 1944 MCauley's Calso Company sold the timber rights of almost Шаблон:Convert of the Boggs Mountain forest to Setzer Forest Products Inc. Setzer Forest Products did not start logging until 1947.Шаблон:Sfn After World War II (1939–1945) there was a boom in construction, and all the usable old-growth and secondary forest was clear cut.Шаблон:Sfn
The Шаблон:Convert Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest covers the relatively flat top of Boggs Mountain.Шаблон:Sfn The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) purchased the land in 1949.Шаблон:Sfn The state bought the land for just $38,700 because it held no timber of commercial value.Шаблон:Sfn The Шаблон:Convert Boggs Mountain Inner Coast Range Reserve has steeper slopes that have virtually undisturbed vegetation. It is under a conservation easement with the Napa County Land Trust.Шаблон:Sfn The Valley Fire of 6 October 2015 burned many of the trees on the mountain.Шаблон:Sfn
