2012 Map of Alderpoint

About this map

The Eel River winds through the southwestern corner of this Humboldt County landscape, providing the primary water source for the settlement of Alderpoint. This region is defined by a network of ranching properties and rugged peaks, where family-named landmarks like Dobbyn Creek Ranch, Stewart Ranch, and Stockton Ranch indicate the historical importance of livestock and land ownership. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward high points such as Wool Mountain and Neafus Peak, while the sheer Zenia Bluffs overlook the drainage of S Dobbyn Cr. Transport in this era relied on winding rural routes like Alderpoint Rd and Hoaglin Rd. A notable point of navigation is Cain Rock Crossing, located near the distinctive Cain Rock, where local travelers historically bridged the gap across the river.
