About this map

The timber and coastal landscape of northern Humboldt County is documented here during the mid-1960s. The settlement of Crannell serves as a focal point near the Little River, where an extensive Old Railroad Grade winds through the hills, tracing the region's industrial heritage. Along the coastline, the Pacific meets the shore at Little River State Beach and Clam Beach County Park, featuring prominent coastal landmarks like Tepona Point and Little River Rock.

Further inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Luffenholtz Creek and Maple Creek, which flow through the rugged elevations of Tip Top Ridge. Evidence of local industry is seen at the McConnahas Mill and various quarries, while the community of Westhaven occupies the terrace above Moonstone. The presence of several water tanks and a Gaging Station along the river reflects the active management of the area's natural resources.
