2021 Map of Cape Mendocino

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Cape Mendocino dominates this Pacific coast landscape, representing the westernmost point of the California mainland. The map illustrates a dramatic meeting of land and sea where the steep slopes of Cape Ridge descend toward a coastline littered with navigational hazards. Offshore, the seabed rises in complex formations including the expansive Blunts Reef and isolated peaks like Fauntleroy Rock. Inland, the terrain is defined by sharp elevation changes and the drainages of Bear River and Singley Cr. Human presence is marked by the winding path of Mattole Rd and Cape Ridge Rd, which navigate the contours above the shore. Notable coastal landmarks such as Sugarloaf Island, Steamboat Rock, and Devils Gate serve as critical reference points along this exposed section of Humboldt County.
