About this map

Larabee Valley and the surrounding high country of Humboldt County are defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The Van Duzen River and the Little Van Duzen River drain this section of the coastal range, where features like Bloody Run Ridge and McClellan Mtn rise above high-altitude basins. The landscape is marked by evidence of historical land use, including several access routes like China Mine Rd and the China Mine Camp Rd, which point to the region's mining and resource extraction heritage.

Water sources are numerous throughout the timbered terrain, ranging from larger bodies like Sweasey Lake to smaller seasonal spots such as Dry Lake and Crazy Spring. Distinctive landmarks such as McClellan Rock and the Larabee Buttes provide significant navigational points within the extensive forest. These landforms, alongside flats like Alder Flat and Azbil Flat, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and early mountain transit.
