2018 Map of Fields Landing

About this map

Humboldt Bay and its complex marshlands dominate this landscape south of Eureka, where the Northwestern Pacific RR follows the coastline through Fields Landing and Spruce Point. The coastal geography is defined by a series of distinct points and channels, including Buhne Point, Hookton Channel, and the expanse of Southport Channel. Inland, the terrain rises toward Humboldt Hill and Tompkins Hill, punctuated by numerous named gulches like Deering Gulch and Railroad Gulch. Local history is anchored by the Table Bluff Cem and the College of the Redwoods, while the southern reaches transition into the dairy lands of Loleta and the Loleta Bottoms. The intricate network of Salmon Cr and Hookton Slough illustrates the delicate interface between the Pacific Ocean and the terrestrial drainages of the Elk River.
