About this map

Blue Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this coastal range landscape, serving as the primary hub where local transit like Blue Lake Blvd and S Railroad Ave converge near the N Fork Mad River. The terrain rising to the north and east is defined by a series of named grasslands and high points, including Miller Prairie, Round Prairie, and Fawn Prairie, which suggest a history of grazing or natural clearings within the timbered hills.

Further into the interior, family-named landmarks and local work sites appear, such as Crawford Ranch and Camp Bauer. This 2012 survey illustrates the drainage network of the Little River and the numerous tributaries feeding the Mad River system, including Pollock Cr and Canyon Cr. Notable topographic markers like Liscom Hill, Poverty Point, and Tip Top Ridge provide essential orientation for researchers tracing the geography of this part of Humboldt County.
