1959 Map of Fields Landing

About this map

Humboldt Bay dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, where the Northwestern Pacific Railroad tracks follow the shoreline past industrial and maritime hubs. The waterfront at Fields Landing features a Coast Guard Cutter Dock and active quarrying operations, while the South Spit protects the inner harbor from the Pacific Ocean. To the south, the terrain rises sharply from the Hookton Slough and Cannibal Slough wetlands toward Table Bluff, a prominent coastal terrace that separates the bay complex from the Eel River drainage.
