2021 Map of Briceland

About this map

The Mattole River corridor defines the western landscape of this Humboldt County region, where the primary settlements of Briceland and Whitethorn anchor the local geography. Significant topographic features like Telegraph Ridge and Gibson Ridge separate the numerous creek drainages, including China Cr and Redwood Cr, that feed into the larger river system. The presence of the Briceland Cem near the town center and the intersection at Thorn Junction provide specific points of interest for those tracking the development of these rural communities. To the south, the terrain rises toward Chamisal Mtn and the Humboldt and Mendocino county line. This mapping of the rugged coastal range illustrates a network of ranch and access roads such as Ettersburg Rd and Shelter Cove Rd that connect isolated peaks like Rose Peak to the more established valley floors.
