1960 Map of Elk

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Elk sits along the Mendocino coastline, serving as a focal point for this 1960s landscape where steep ridges meet the Pacific. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent parallel ridges, including Albion Ridge, Navarro Ridge, and Greenwood Ridge, which separate the major drainages of the Albion River and Navarro River. Inland, local infrastructure such as the Greenwood School and a rural Airstrip indicate the community's mid-century development. Evidence of the region's timber and transport history is visible in names like Railroad Road and the Burner located along the Navarro. The rugged shore is marked by distinct features such as Devils Basin, Casket Rock, and St Anthonys Point, while the interior preserves natural spaces like Dimmick Memorial Grove State Park along the river's north fork.
