2021 Map of Bald Hills

About this map

Redwood National Park dominates this section of Humboldt County, preserving a landscape defined by the steep drainage of Redwood Creek and its high flanking ridges. The northern reaches of the Bald Hills are visible here, characterized by open grasslands such as Pitt Place Prairie that contrast with the timbered slopes of Bridge Creek Ridge. The topographic detail traces an extensive network of trails, including the Tall Trees Trl and the Emerald Ridge Trl, which navigate the elevation drops from Eagle Ridge toward the creek bed. Local history and ranching legacies are anchored by features like Lyons Ranch Trl and the Hancock Ranch Rd, while landmarks like Schoolhouse Peak and Schoolhouse Pasture Rock mark the southern interior highlands. This survey documents the intersection of modern recreational access and older agricultural footprints in the Pacific Northwest timberlands.
