About this map

Alderpoint sits at the heart of this 1990s-era survey, positioned along the meandering Eel River in a landscape defined by deep gulches and significant elevation changes. This region, where the Humboldt Co and Trinity Co borders meet, reflects a history of isolated ranching and timber management. Family names are preserved through landmarks like Ware Ranch, Stockton Ranch, and Dobbyn Creek Ranch, while the local education infrastructure is represented by the Jewett Sch and Casterlin Sch.

The presence of the Alderpoint Forest Fire Station and the Six Rivers National Forest boundary indicates the area's ongoing importance for resource management. Rugged terrain features such as Wool Mountain, Zenia Bluffs, and the distinct Cain Rock overlook the river valley, which is navigated by the Alderpoint Road. A small Landing Strip and a Substation highlight the specialized rural infrastructure serving this remote section of Northern California.
