About this map

The Eel River and Van Duzen River define the agricultural and industrial landscape of this Humboldt County region during the early 1940s. The hub of Fortuna sits at the center of a transit network, where the Redwood Highway and the Northwestern Pacific RR facilitate the movement of local timber and goods. To the north, the map details the intricate tidal flats of Humboldt Bay, featuring coastal settlements like Fields Landing and Beatrice.
