1960 Map of Mendocino

About this map

Mendocino and the rugged coastal settlements of the 1960s are meticulously detailed in this survey of the northern California coastline. The maritime legacy of the region is anchored by the Point Cabrillo Light Station, while the town of Mendocino itself is clearly defined by its street grid, featuring local landmarks like the Union High Sch, Hillcrest Cem, and Evergreen Cem. This era shows a landscape transitioning between its industrial roots and a growing identity as a coastal destination, with the sprawling Jackson State Forest bordering protected areas like Russian Gulch State Park and Van Damme Beach State Park.
