About this map

Westhaven and Moonstone anchor the rocky coastline of northern Humboldt County in this 2012 survey, where the rugged Pacific shore meets a landscape shaped by timber and ranching. The presence of Old Railroad Grade Rd and numerous creek-bound gulches like Water Gulch point to a legacy of logging infrastructure that once moved timber through the hills. Near the mouth of the Little River, agricultural life is visible through family-held properties such as Peters Ranch, Buckley Ranch, and the Reimann Ranch.

The interior is defined by a dense network of drainages including Luffenholtz Cr and Maple Cr, punctuated by landmarks like Twentyone Rock and The Gap. Coastal access points at Moonstone Beach and Houda Point Access provide a clear view of the shoreline's character, including prominent sea stacks like Little River Rock. Further north, Adams Fox Farm and Strawberry Prairie mark the transition from the coastal bluffs into the deeper coastal forests.
