2022 Map of Garberville

About this map

Garberville and Redway serve as the primary hubs in this section of the South Fork Eel River canyon, where the river winds through steep terrain marked by family-named ridges and clearings. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising from the riverbanks to heights like Schofield Peak and Reed Mtn. Public and local interest landmarks including the Garberville Airport and Garberville Cem sit near the valley floor, while further south, the settlement of Benbow and the landmark Hartsook Giant reflect the region's long-standing connection to the redwood corridor. Moving toward the southern boundary at the Humboldt Co and Mendocino Co line, the map documents small forest openings such as Schofield Opening and Stone Opening, alongside named water sources like Ten Oak Springs and Kauffman Spring, providing a record of the hydrological network supporting these hillside communities.
