1969 Map of Cooskie Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

King Range National Conservation Area defines this coastal landscape where the steep ridges of the California coast meet the Pacific Ocean. This late 1960s survey documents a remarkably undeveloped stretch of the Lost Coast, characterized by sharp elevation changes and deep drainages. Major watercourses such as Cooskie Creek and Spanish Creek carve through the terrain, originating from high points like Cooskie Ridge and Spanish Ridge before reaching the shoreline. The map reveals a shoreline marked by prominent offshore hazards and landmarks, including Gorda Rock, Rodgers Break, and Reynolds Rock. Near the surf, the few accessible level areas like Spanish Flat and Sea Lion Gulch are connected only by a network of steep Jeep Trails, illustrating the area's isolation and the difficulty of land-based transit during this era. Inland, the topography is dominated by naming conventions that repeat across the landscape, such as Lake Ridge and Jack Gorda Ridge.
