2018 Map of Bear Harbor

About this map

Kenny and Wheeler sit along the isolated Mendocino coastline, marking a landscape where the steep coastal mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Chamisal Mtn down to coastal landmarks like Needle Rock and Jackson Pinnacle. The map reveals a network of watercourses, including the Mattole River and Jackass Cr, which have carved deep canyons through the coastal range. Access to this remote region is limited to narrow routes like Usal Rd and the Timber Haul Rd, reflecting the area's history of logging and its preservation within Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. For those following the Lost Coast Trail, the map provides exact locations for offshore features such as Cluster Cone Rocks and Seal Rocks, which have long been navigational hazards and ecological landmarks along this undeveloped stretch of the California coast.
