About this map

Fort Bragg serves as the focal point of this Mendocino coast survey, showing the city's concentrated grid between the Pacific Ocean and the sprawling timberlands of the Jackson State Forest. The presence of the California Western Railroad winding eastward along Pudding Creek underscores the region's historic reliance on rail transport for the lumber industry. To the north, the small settlement of Cleone sits near the freshwater Lake Cleone within the bounds of Mac Kerricher State Park, highlighting the early conservation of the shoreline.

Industrial and maritime heritage is evident at Noyo Bay, where the Noyo River meets the sea, and at the Ft Bragg Landing near Soldier Pt. The map provides specific urban details including City Hall, several unnamed Churches, and the Fort Bragg Airport located just north of the city center. Inland, the terrain rises toward Bald Hill, cut by numerous drainage features like Hare Creek and Newman Gulch.
