About this map

Redwood National Park dominates the landscape of this 2015 survey, where the dense coastal forest meets the Pacific shoreline at Gold Bluffs Beach. The community of Orick serves as a central hub, situated near the confluence of Redwood Creek and Prairie Cr. This area is characterized by a unique hydrological system of coastal lagoons, including Freshwater Lagoon, Stone Lagoon, and the smaller Espa Lagoon, which are separated from the ocean by narrow strips of land.

Further north along the corridor, the settlement of Berry Glenn sits tucked against the timbered slopes. Notable landmarks like Mussel Point and Lookout Point provide distinct navigational markers along the coastline, while local routes such as Bald Hills Rd and the Newton B Drury Scenic Pky wind through the complex topography of Orick Hill and the surrounding drainages. This map documents the intersection of protected wilderness and established coastal settlements in northern Humboldt County.
