1960 Map of Elk

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The coastal hamlet of Elk anchors this coastal survey, where the rugged Mendocino shoreline meets the timber-heavy ridges of the California Coast Ranges. Settlement patterns here are dictated by the steep topography, with legacy labels like Cuffeys Cove and the Greenwood Sch marking the community's mid-century footprint. Further inland, the landscape is defined by a series of parallel elevations including Albion Ridge, Navarro Ridge, and Greenwood Ridge, which separate the drainages of the Albion River and the Navarro River. Evidence of historical industry and land management is visible through features such as the Bear Pen Flume, an Airstrip, and the Dimmick Memorial Grove State Park. Small inland settlements like Goodyear and Watson appear alongside complex gulch systems, reflecting the era's focus on water resources and forestry access.
