1945 Map of Orick
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Prairie Creek Redwood State Park dominates the coastal topography of this Northern California survey, preserving a dense network of drainages including Goodwood Cr, Brown Cr, and Prairie Creek. Near the southern boundary, the settlement of Orick sits at the confluence of Prairie Cr and Redwood Creek, serving as a focal point for local activity alongside the nearby State Fish Hatchery. The map documents the rugged interface between the Pacific Ocean and the coastal range, from the offshore Redding Rock Lighthouse to the prominent Gold Bluffs. Inland, small named locales like Boyes, Elk Grove, and the Hufford Ranch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Humboldt and Del Norte borderlands. Coastal landmarks like Freshwater Lagoon and Stone Lagoon anchor the southern shoreline, while the route of highway 101 winds through the narrow river valleys and timbered slopes.
