2012 Map of Cooskie Creek

About this map

The Punta Gorda Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the northern coastline of this Humboldt County map, marking a transition from the Pacific Ocean to the steep, rising ridges of Northern California. The coastal topography is defined by sharp elevation changes, where features like Johnny Jack Ridge and Cooskie Ridge dominate the landscape. Numerous seasonal and year-round drainages, including Cooskie Cr and Randall Cr, have carved deep gulches and canyons through the terrain. Along the immediate shoreline, maritime hazards and landmarks such as Gorda Rock, Reynolds Rock, and Rodgers Break are meticulously documented. Further south, the narrow coastal bench at Spanish Flat provides one of the few relatively level areas between the surf and the high spine of Spanish Ridge.
