About this map

Crescent City anchors this coastal landscape where the timber industry and the Pacific shoreline meet. In the mid-1950s, the area's economy is clearly visible through numerous Lumber Mill sites and a Plywood Plant situated near the County Airport. The map highlights the transition from the grid of the city to the expansive Sand Dunes and coastal lagoons like Lake Earl and Lake Talawa. Historical infrastructure, such as the Old RR Grade and the S S Emidio Memorial, points to the region's maritime and transport history.
