2018 Map of Myers Flat

About this map

Myers Flat and the surrounding Humboldt County wilderness are defined by the convergence of the Eel River and the South Fork Eel River. This 2018 survey documents the small settlements of Fruitland, McCann, and Whitlow, which are tucked along the riverbanks and hillsides of the North Coast. The landscape is marked by high elevation points such as Brushy Mtn, The Peaks, and Eagle Point, illustrating the extreme verticality of the redwood country. Local history is preserved in landmarks like South Fork Cem and old transportation routes including Dyerville Loop Rd and Mail Ridge. The network of private ranches and fire roads, such as Cathy Ranch Rd and Wheeler Ranch Rd, highlights the contemporary land use patterns where family-named properties continue to define the geography of the Eel River valley.
