1950 Map of Piercy

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The South Fork Eel River winds through the northern Mendocino coastline in this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by the timber-rich corridors of Jackass Ridge and Timber Ridge. The transportation network is dominated by the Redwood Highway, which connects the settlement of Piercy to the protected forests of Richardson Grove State Park. Notable family holdings like Medcalf Ranch and DeVilbiss Ranch indicate a pattern of rural land use that persisted even as earlier coastal outposts began to fade. This era of the map captures several locations in transition, specifically noting the Moody (Site) and Kenny (Site) as former settlements. To the west, the coastline is punctuated by navigational landmarks such as Needle Rock and Bear Harbor, where the steep terrain meets the Pacific Ocean at Anderson Cliffs.
