1966 Map of Childs Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Pacific Ocean meets the coastline of Northern California in this mid-1960s study, where the steep, timbered ridges of the Six Rivers National Forest dominate the interior. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Mill Creek and its many tributaries, including the East Fork and West Branch. These waters carve through the terrain beneath Childs Hill and Bald Hill, creating a complex network of canyons that historically slowed development in the region. Along the western edge, the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park protects a significant corridor of the coastal forest. The lack of major settlements and the reliance on a Jeep Trail or the Hamilton Road for access underscores the region's character as a resource-rich wilderness. Researchers can trace the varied terrain from Bummer Lake down to the rocky coastline near Nickel Creek.
