Ferndale sits at the foot of the hills where the coastal pastures meet the steep ascent of the coastal range. This coastal landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Eel River delta, including the Salt River, Cutoff Slough, and the marshy grounds of Cock Robin Island. The transition from the alluvial flats near Port Kenyon and Arlynda Corners to the sharp elevation of Sugarloaf Mtn and Wildcat Ridge illustrates the physical constraints that shaped early settlement patterns. Genealogy researchers will find the locations of Ferndale Cem and Saint Marys Cem clearly marked on the southern edge of town. To the west, the coastline is accessible via the Eel River to Centerville Beach Trl, while the interior is marked by significant landmarks like Bear River Ridge and Little Bald Hill.
