1983 Map of Ah Pah Ridge

About this map

The Klamath River winds through the heart of this North Coast landscape, marking a central corridor where the Hoopa Valley meets several protected wilderness areas. This 1983 survey shows the convergence of the Redwood National Park, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, and Six Rivers National Forest. Local history is visible in the presence of McCovey Ranch and Ah Pah Ranch, along with the Blue Creek Lodge (Site) situated near the riverbanks. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Ah Pah Ridge and Starwein Ridge, cut by numerous tributaries including Pecwan Creek, Blue Creek, and the South Fork Ah Pah. Extensive networks of 4wd and private roads suggest the area's ongoing management for timber and outdoor recreation, while borrow pits indicate localized resource extraction during this era.
