About this map

The complex shoreline of Humboldt Bay is the centerpiece of this 2018 survey, where the city of Eureka serves as the regional hub for transportation and commerce. A series of intricate channels, including the Entrance Channel and North Bay Channel, separate the mainland from the Samoa Peninsula, where the settlements of Samoa and Fairhaven are connected by the Samoa Bridge. The urban layout shows the residential growth of neighborhoods like Myrtletown, Rosewood, and Cutten as they expand into the hillsides east of the bay.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of several prominent burial grounds such as Myrtle Grove Memorial Cem and Sunset Memorial Park. The map also captures the industrial and maritime infrastructure along the Inner Reach, showing the Airport Landing Strip on the North Spit and the numerous named islands like Woodley Island and Indian Island that dot the central bay.
