USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Eel River delta and its complex network of sloughs dominate this 1959 coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by tidal movement and agricultural reclamation. Ferndale stands as the primary settlement on the southern edge of the flats, while the surrounding marshlands are partitioned into islands like Cannibal Island and Cock Robin Island. This era shows a community deeply tied to both the land and sea, evidenced by the numerous family-named properties such as Fulmor Ranch and Occidental Ranch.
