About this map

The Eel River defines the western corridor of this landscape, where the settlement of Alderpoint sits at the river's edge along Alderpoint Rd. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a remote region of the North Coast Ranges, where the boundary between Humboldt Co and Trinity Co cuts through steep, forested terrain. To the north, the protected acreage of the Six Rivers National Forest borders the ridges, while various watercourses like Dobbyn Cr and Mill Cr carve deep drainages through the territory.

Further south, the small community of Cain Rock and the nearby Cain Rock Crossing mark significant points of historical passage over the river. Significant peaks and landforms, including Neafus Peak, Wool Mtn, and the distinctive Zenia Bluffs, serve as natural landmarks. This map documents a quiet, river-driven economy and provides clear detail of the winding routes like Zenia Bluff Rd and Casterlin Rd that connect these isolated Humboldt County locales.
