2012 Map of Eureka

About this map

Humboldt Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the city of Eureka serves as a central hub for maritime and recreational activity. The map reveals the intricate network of channels and sloughs that define the region's geography, including the Entrance Channel and the Mad River Slough. On the protective Samoa Peninsula, the small settlements of Samoa and Fairhaven sit across the water from the urban core, connected by the Samoa Bridge which spans Indian Island. Residential developments such as Myrtletown, Cutten, and Rosewood spread eastward into the foothills, while the coastline is marked by infrastructure like the Del Norte Street Fishing Pier and the Eureka Boat Basin. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern layout of Humboldt County’s largest city, documenting established local institutions like Sunset Memorial Park and the Redwood Acres Fairground.
