1969 Map of Mistake Point

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Anderson Cliff towers over the northern Mendocino coast, marking a dramatic boundary between the Pacific Ocean and the coastal uplands. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the shoreline topography of the northern California wilderness, where narrow canyons like Northport Gulch and Anderson Gulch cut through the steep terrain toward the sea. The map captures a largely undeveloped landscape defined by timber resources and remote coastal access, evidenced by the presence of Timber Ridge and the winding route of the Usal Road. Near the water, landmarks such as Jackass Cone and the expansive Tidal Flat provide navigational reference points along the surf. Further offshore, the prominent Big White Rock stands as a notable maritime feature, while the namesake Mistake Point marks the rugged transition between the Jackass and Little Jackass drainage systems.
