2012 Map of Ferndale

About this map

Ferndale sits at the base of Wildcat Ridge in the early 21st century, serving as the cultural hub for a landscape defined by the complex hydrology of the Eel River Delta. The coastal plains to the west are characterized by numerous sloughs and creeks, including Centerville Slough and Cutoff Slough, which drain toward the Pacific Ocean at Centerville Beach. The map highlights a series of established landholdings and small settlements that reflect the area's agricultural roots, such as Fern Cottage, Occidental Ranch, and Bunker Hill Ranch.
