1959 Map of Arcata South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Humboldt State University anchors the northern edge of this coastal landscape, situated where the redwood-covered slopes of Fickle Hill meet the developed town center of Arcata. The 1970s updates reveal the expansion of residential neighborhoods like Sunny Brae and the development of the Oxidation Pond along the marshy fringes of Arcata Bay. To the south, the Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor tracks the shoreline through industrial and transit points like Brainard and Bracut, connecting the northern settlements to the city boundary of Eureka.
