1950 Map of Iaqua Buttes

About this map

The Mad River and Duzen River define the eastern and southern reaches of this Humboldt County terrain, where mid-century life revolved around a network of isolated ranches and ridges. Land use is anchored by remote outposts like Iaqua Ranch, Shaws Ranch, and the Redwood House, reflecting a period when cattle ranching and timber shaped the local economy. The presence of the Iaqua School (Aband) near the Iaqua Buttes points to a shift in rural settlement patterns by 1950, while active schools like Kneeland Sch and Showers Pass Sch continued to serve the scattered families of the backcountry.
