About this map

Humboldt Redwoods State Park dominates the eastern landscape of this survey, where the Bull Creek watershed meets the Mattole Road. The map documents a rugged timber and ranching area during the late 1960s, featuring remote outposts like Rainbow Ranch and Mann Ranch. Along the creek's winding path, public infrastructure is evident through the Upper Bull Creek Ranger Station, a Gaging Station, and the Bull Creek Cemetery.

Topographical detail highlights a series of prominent ridges, including Rainbow Ridge and Cuneo Ridge, which define the drainage patterns of Nelson Creek and Cuneo Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of established campsites like Fox Camp and recreation sites such as the Albee Creek Campground. The presence of a Landing Strip near the southern boundary and various quarries suggests the importance of resource management and accessibility in this steep terrain.
