About this map

Kibesillah and the coastal bluffs of Mendocino County define this 1960s survey, capturing a landscape where small seaside settlements cling to the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The geography is shaped by numerous coastal drainages, including Chadbourne Gulch, Kibesillah Creek, and Seaside Creek, which cut through the uplifted marine terraces toward the sea. To the south, the broad estuary of the Ten Mile River meets the coast, bordered by an extensive field of Sand Dunes and the secluded Sandhill Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks of early settlement, such as the Newport Cemetery near the site of Newport and the Inglenook Cemetery further inland. The presence of a Grange Hall in the settlement of Inglenook suggests a community centered on agriculture and local organization. The map also details maritime features like Kibesillah Rock and the prominent Ten Mile River Bluff, providing a clear view of the coastline before modern development patterns fully took hold.
