1959 Map of Fortuna
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Eel River and Van Duzen River define the valley floor where the city of Fortuna served as a regional hub for the Eel River Valley in the late 1950s. The map captures the town during a period of infrastructure expansion, showing the Redwood Highway and the Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor alongside civic landmarks like the Union High School and Veterans Memorial. To the south, the settlement of Metropolitan and the St Pius X Seminary sit near the river junction, while the higher elevations of Buzzards Peak and Barber offer a glimpse of the forested timberlands that historically fueled the local economy.
