2021 Map of Blocksburg

About this map

Oak Glen and the surrounding Humboldt County wilderness are defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep-cut creek drainages that shape the landscape. Elevated landmarks such as Billy Goat Peak, Great Butte, and Blue Jacket Butte rise above the primary water systems of the Eel River and the meandering Larabee Cr. This remote area, mapped in the modern era, retains a network of winding mountain roads like Alderpoint Rd and Cemetery Rd that connect isolated clearings and flats. In the southeastern corner, the site of the Blocksburg Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark, while the northern terrain is punctuated by the height of Charles Mtn and the level ground of Boulder Flat. The mapping reflects a region where navigation follows natural ridgelines like Sunset Ridge, documenting the persistent character of these coastal range foothills.
