About this map

Albion River and the Navarro River carve deep estuaries into the Mendocino coast on this mid-century survey. The settlement of Albion is shown concentrated near the northern river mouth, with Albion Flat situated on the low-lying bank below the coastal bluffs. Further south, the former town of Whitesboro is identified as a site near the mouth of Big Salmon Creek, providing a clear location for a once-active lumber port.

The landscape is defined by high coastal plateaus, including Navarro Ridge and Albion Ridge, which are accessed by a network of winding roads like Cameron Road. Along the shore, numerous landmarks such as Arch of the Navarro and Albion Head reflect the intricate coastline. Genealogists will note several burial markers, including Graves located north of the Albion estuary and a single Grave situated near the south bank of the Navarro River.
