1982 Map of Hupa Mountain

About this map

Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation lands dominate the eastern portion of this Humboldt County terrain, where high ridges and deep creek drainages define the landscape during the early 1980s. The map illustrates a complex network of 4WD trails and small meadow-clearings known locally as prairies, such as Barber Prairie, Flyette Prairie, and Studhorse Prairie. This nomenclature suggests a history of grazing or seasonal upland use within the Six Rivers National Forest. Small points of development like the Green Point Sch near Beaver Flat and the settlement at Stover along Redwood Creek provide evidence of isolated community hubs. Water sources are abundant, with Lacks Creek and the North Fork Pasture Creek carving through the steep topography of Pine Ridge and Beaver Ridge. The presence of several gravel pits and named crossings like Kings Crossing underscores the practical infrastructure of this timber and ranching country.
