2021 Map of Arcata South
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Humboldt Bay defines the western edge of this 2021 landscape, where the tidal marshes of the Arcata Bottoms and Bayside Bottoms meet the rising slopes of the coast range. The map details the transition from the urban centers of Arcata and northern Eureka to the timbered ridges of Fickle Hill and Granite Butte. Numerous sloughs, including Liscom Slough and Fay Slough, snake through the lowlands, reflecting a complex hydrologic network that supported early regional development. Inland, the terrain is deeply incised by gulches such as Washington Gulch and McCready Gulch, which guide the path of rural settlements like Freshwater and Bayside. The presence of Murray Field and the Humboldt Bay Trail North Trl illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over these historic marshlands and redwood-adjacent hillsides.
