2018 Map of Bald Hills

About this map

Redwood National Park dominates this terrain, where the steep canyons of Redwood Creek and its many tributaries carve through the Coast Range. The map illustrates a complex network of ridgelines, including Bridge Creek Ridge and Williams Ridge, that define the local drainage patterns. Evidence of human activity and ranching history is found in names like Pitt Place Prairie and the Lyons Ranch Trail in the southern portion of the quadrangle. High points such as Schoolhouse Peak and unique formations like Schoolhouse Pasture Rock overlook the namesake Bald Hills. This 2018 survey also tracks modern recreational access, including the Tall Trees Trail and the Coyote Creek Bike Loop, highlighting the balance between wilderness preservation and public land use in this part of Humboldt County.
