2012 Map of Gualala

About this map

Gualala and the rugged Mendocino coastline anchor this detailed 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp coastal bluffs and narrow river canyons. The map tracks the winding course of the Garcia River and its south fork as they cut through the timbered heights of Gualala Mountain and Fleming Ridge. Along the Pacific shore, historic maritime sites like Bourns Landing, Collins Landing, and Steens Landing mark the area's history of coastal shipping, while the nearby Bourn Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists. The settlement at Anchor Bay and the specialized Lofty Redwoods Airport indicate the modern character of this stretch of Highway 1. Further inland, the map documents numerous family-named landmarks including Smith Ranch, Everson Ranch, and Johnson Ranch, illustrating the long-standing ranching and timber interests that have shaped the Mendocino coast.
