2018 Map of Maple Creek

About this map

Fernwood and the eponymous settlement of Maple Creek anchor this northern California landscape, which is largely defined by the protected lands of the Six Rivers National Forest. The map detail follows the complex drainage systems of Redwood Creek and its many tributaries, including High Prairie Creek and Cool Spring Creek. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Snow Camp Mountain and Bald Mountain, with travel through the area dictated by a network of ranch and forest service roads. A clear pattern of land use is evident in the transition between private ranch properties, such as those accessed via Guy Kerr Ranch Rd, and the open forest lands. Named landmarks like Murphy Meadow and Squirrel Tail Ridge provide specific points of interest for those studying the local topography and historical naming conventions of Humboldt County.
