1950 Map of Cape Vizcaino

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Rockport and the northern Mendocino coast appear here during the mid-century transition from early maritime commerce to an economy heavily reliant on timber extraction. This 1950 field-checked survey highlights a series of small, isolated coastal landings and settlements including Hardy, Westport, and Kibesillah. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the prominent Logging Road network tracking the Tenmile River, illustrating how the industry moved deep into the inland ridges such as Cottoneva Ridge and Lincoln Ridge. Evidence of established community life is visible at the Ft Bragg Grange and several small Cem locations. The coastline itself is defined by numerous maritime landmarks like Cape Vizcaino and Abalone Point, which once served as vital navigation aids for the coastal shipping that supported these remote outposts.
