About this map

Klamath River dominates the southern reaches of this mid-century survey, cutting through the Coast Indian Reservation to reach the Pacific Ocean. The local economy of the early 1950s is evidenced by industrial sites like the Veneer Mill and Sawmill near Klamath, while the Douglas Mem Bridge serves as a critical link for the Redwood Highway.

Tourism and timber define the landscape, with the famous Trees of Mystery attraction situated just north of False Klamath Cove. Much of the interior is preserved within the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and Six Rivers National Forest, showing a transition from the rugged shoreline at Footsteps Rocks and Wilson Rock to the high timber of Childs Hill. Small settlements such as Requa and Hoppaw flank the river banks, marking the historic residential core of the region.
