2021 Map of Owl Creek

About this map

The rugged drainage systems of Humboldt County define this landscape, where the Van Duzen River and Yager Creek networks carve through high ridges. Timber industry heritage is evident in the network of arterial routes like the Louisiana Pacific Logging Rd, which snakes through the steep terrain along Flanigan Cr and Fox Cr. These roads provide modern access to historical ranching and upland areas such as McCord Prairie and Bootjack Prairie, names that point to the region's early land use patterns before the heavy industrialization of the forests.
