About this map

The Ten Mile River meets the coast in this mid-1960s study of the Mendocino shoreline, revealing a landscape defined by coastal bluffs and extensive Sand Dunes. The settlement of Inglenook sits just inland, anchored by the Grange Hall and Inglenook Cemetery, while the northern reaches show the smaller locales of Kibesillah and Newport. These small communities were established near rugged points and gulches, with the Newport Cemetery overlooking the ocean near Newport.

Coastal geography dominates the western half of the map, featuring Kibesillah Rock and Bruhel Point along the Pacific Ocean. Inland, the terrain rises toward Bell Mountain and Kibesillah Hill, cut by numerous drainage paths like Chadbourne Gulch and Abalobadiah Creek. The presence of Sandhill Lake tucked behind the dunes illustrates the unique hydrological pocket created by the shifting sands south of the Ten Mile River Bluff.
