2012 Map of Fern Canyon

About this map

Gold Bluffs Beach and the iconic Fern Canyon anchor this coastal portrait of the Humboldt County shoreline. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Pacific Ocean to the timbered ridges of the Prairie Creek Redwoods SP. The Redwood Hwy follows the course of Prairie Cr, serving as the primary corridor through this densely forested region. To the north, the Alder Forestry Conservation Camp stands near the headwaters of Waukell Cr, while landmarks like Split Rock and Gold Bluffs provide unmistakable coastal markers. Numerous drainages, including Johnson Cr and McGarvey Cr, cut through the terrain, illustrating the intricate watershed that supports the ancient redwood groves. The map traces secondary routes such as Alder Camp Rd and Ah Pah Rd, which penetrate the interior forests east of the coastline.
