About this map

The Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation dominates the eastern landscape of this Humboldt County survey, where the rugged terrain transitions between the Six Rivers National Forest and private holdings. This area is characterized by a high-altitude network of prairies and flats, including the curiously named Potato Patch, Redeye Prairie, and Hundred Acre Field. These open clearings among the timber provided essential landmarks and grazing grounds for early settlers and forest managers.

Evidence of local infrastructure is concentrated near Redwood Creek, where the Green Point School once served the remote community. Water sources were vital to the area’s utility, marked by numerous Springs and named crossings such as Kings Crossing. To the south, Beaver Ridge and Beaver Butte overlook a series of creeks, including Albee Creek and Lacks Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by narrow canyons and isolated upland plateaus.
