About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through this corner of Humboldt County, serving as the primary geographic anchor for the settlement at Waseck. This region is defined by sharp elevation changes, where the high ground of French Camp Ridge and the Bald Hills looks down toward the river canyon. Tribal and military history are marked by the Yurok / Veterans Cem, located near the heart of the ridge.

Transit through this complex landscape relies on established routes like Bald Hills Rd and the French Camp Rd, while the Martins Ferry Bridge provides a vital river crossing. To the southwest, the boundary of Redwood National Park encompasses landmarks such as Coyote Peak and Coyote Rock. The nomenclature of the land, from Robbers Gulch to Burnt Ranch Prairie, reflects a history of ranching and early mountain passage in the Pacific Northwest.
