About this map

Redwood National Park dominates this northern California landscape, preserving a complex network of coastal drainages and high ridgelines in Humboldt County. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent from Arbor Camp Ridge and Wiregrass Ridge into the deep valleys of Redwood Creek and the Little River. This modern survey illustrates the current management of these protected lands, where historical access routes like K and K Rd wind through heavily forested slopes.

Of particular cultural note is the inclusion of Pkwó-’o-lo’ ue-merkw, reflecting indigenous presence and place-naming within the park boundaries. The map traces numerous watercourses from their headwaters at high points like Devils Peak and Shotgun Pass, down through secondary flows such as Panther Creek and Coyote Creek. This cartography provides a definitive look at the current hydrography and topography of the Pacific Northwest's redwood belt.
