2018 Map of Inglenook

About this map

Kibesillah and Newport stand as small coastal nodes on this northern Mendocino County landscape, where the land falls sharply into the Pacific Ocean. The geography is defined by coastal gulches and hills, most notably Kibesillah Hill and Bell Mtn, which overlook a shoreline dotted with distinctive landmarks like Whale Rock Arch and Bruhel Point. Transportation patterns here are shaped by the terrain, with the Old Coast Hwy and the Georgia-Pacific Industrial Rd following the contours above the bluffs. Further south, the map reveals a shift toward wetlands and unique ecological features, including Sandhill Lake, Inglenook Creek, and the protected Inglenook Fen. This area, largely part of MacKerricher State Park, contains several burial grounds of local genealogical interest, such as Newport Cem and Inglenook Cem, which mark the early footprint of these coastal settlements.
