2018 Map of Cooskie Creek

About this map

Johnny Jack Ridge and Cooskie Ridge dominate this coastal stretch of Humboldt County, where the land drops precipitously into the Pacific Ocean. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous drainage systems, including Cooskie Cr and Randall Cr. Named topographical landmarks like Sea Lion Gulch and Spanish Flat indicate a history of local maritime and terrestrial identification along this largely inaccessible shoreline. Offshore features such as Rodgers Break and Reynolds Rock serve as vital navigation points where the mountains meet the sea. The map illustrates the complex ridgelines of Lake Ridge and Spanish Ridge, providing a clear view of the natural barriers that have historically limited coastal development in this part of Northern California.
