2023 Map of Buckeye Mountain

About this map

Buckeye Mtn dominates this Humboldt County landscape, where the Mattole River and its numerous tributaries like Conklin Creek and Telegraph Creek carve through the coastal range. The area is defined by its series of distinct high-elevation spines, including Rainbow Ridge, Apple Tree Ridge, and Mail Ridge, which historically served as the primary routes for travel and communication through this terrain. Traces of early land use are evident in labels such as Homestead Opening and Cow Pasture Opening, suggesting a history of small-scale agriculture and clearing within the timberlands. Recreational spaces are represented by A W Way Park along the riverbanks, while the intricate network of local routes like Mattole Rd and Conklin Creek Rd connect these isolated ridges to the broader county.
