1943 Map of Albion

About this map

The coastal settlement of Albion serves as the focal point for this wartime survey of the Mendocino County coastline. Dominating the landscape are the high coastal plateaus of Navarro Ridge, Mcpherson Ridge, and Handley Ridge, which overlook the dramatic meeting of the Pacific Ocean and the northern California shoreline. The drainage patterns of the area are defined by the Little Salmon River and the larger Salmon River, alongside the prominent mouth of the Navarro River.
