2018 Map of Blue Lake

About this map

Blue Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the N Fork Mad River meets the valley floor and shifts toward the coast. The town serves as a cultural and educational anchor, notably housing the Deli'Arte International School of Physical Theatre and the Blue Lake Cem. Beyond the residential streets of Blue Lake, the terrain rises sharply into a complex network of ridges and drainages. Forested spurs like Tip Top Ridge and Wiregrass Ridge dominate the northern half of the sheet, divided by numerous watercourses including Little River and Tyson Cr. The presence of Liscom Hill and Poverty Point suggests a history of localized settlement and geographic naming conventions that define the rural Humboldt County interior. Infrastructure such as Korbel Dr and Blue Lake Blvd provide the primary connections between the town center and the timberlands of the Mad River basin.
