1966 Map of Orick

About this map

Redwood Creek defines the coastal geography of this Humboldt County region, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean just south of the settlement of Orick. The 1960s landscape is dominated by the massive stands of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and the distinct coastal formations of the Gold Bluffs. The map reveals a transition from the sea to the high ridges of Orick Hill and the long drainages of Lost Man Creek and Little Lost Man Creek.
