About this map

Redwood Creek and the Klamath River carve through this section of Humboldt County, defining a landscape of high ridges and isolated prairies. The map shows the western edge of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, where the Martins Ferry Bridge serves as a critical crossing point near Martins Ferry. Settlement patterns are distinctly rural, anchored by family-named holdings such as the Anton Lyons Ranch, Stover Ranch, and Rube Ranch.

Education and local infrastructure are represented by the Bald Hills School and Beaver School, while high-altitude prairies like Skookum Prairie and Hancorne Prairie suggest a history of seasonal grazing. Distinctive landmarks such as Schoolhouse Peak and Coyote Peak overlook the deep drainages of Lacks Creek and Tectah Creek. Transportation is largely limited to a network of unimproved dirt roads and a Jeep Trail, reflecting the area's mid-century character before significant modern development.
