About this map

The Van Duzen River carves a deep path through this Humboldt County terrain, anchoring the small communities of Bridgeville, Maple Grove, and Swains Flat. The settlement patterns here follow the river's course and the primary transit corridors of Alderpoint RD and Kneeland RD. A notable local landmark, the Little Golden Gate Bridge, spans the river near Petty Flat, while the Bridgeville Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical interest on the northern bank.

Upland features define the surrounding wilderness, from the heights of Schoolhouse Hill to the distinctive Chalk Mountains and Mt Baldy. The map details a landscape of significant elevation changes, punctuated by named peaks like Goat Rock and Chalk Rock. Waterways such as Larabee Cr and Hoagland Cr drain the steep ridges, illustrating the complex hydrography that has shaped the history of timber and transport in this part of Northern California.
