About this map

The Eel River carves a deep valley through this Humboldt County landscape, where the town of Alderpoint serves as a small hub for the surrounding ranching and timber country. The Northwestern Pacific railroad follows the river's eastern bank, passing landmarks like the Cain Rock Crossing and a riverside Landing Strip. Local education and infrastructure are evidenced by the Casterlin Sch and Jewett Sch, alongside the Alderpoint Forest Fire Sta.

Away from the river, the terrain is defined by family-named ranchlands and water sources. Dobbyn Creek Ranch, Stewart Ranch, and Stockton Ranch occupy the plateaus and creek valleys between North Dobbyn Creek and the Zenia Bluffs. This 1969 survey captures a rural network of jeep trails and county roads connecting isolated peaks such as Wool Mountain and Neafus Peak near the Humboldt Co and Trinity Co line.
