1969 Map of Jewett Rock

About this map

Northwestern Pacific tracks dominate the riverine corridor of this late 1960s survey, following the winding course of the Eel River through the heart of the Emerald Triangle. This rugged region, where Humboldt, Trinity, and Mendocino counties meet, reveals a landscape of isolated homesteads and high ridgelines. Local genealogy and land-use history are anchored by names like White Ranch, Wood Ranch, and Lauffer Ranch, while a small Cem and a lone Grave near Jewett Creek mark the early settlement footprint in Jewett Valley. The map records a transition in transport and utility, showing a Landing Strip on Chamise Ridge and the Kekawaka Sta along the rail line, alongside natural landmarks like the prominent Jewett Rock and Walker Island Mountain.
