1950 Map of Piercy

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Piercy and Andersonia serve as the primary inland hubs of this 1950 coastal survey, situated where the Redwood Highway traces the South Fork Eel River. The map illustrates a transitional landscape between the inland timber regions and the rocky Pacific coastline. Significant cultural data is preserved through the identification of early settlements and ranching outposts, including Moody (Site) and Kenny (Site), as well as family-named properties like Metcalf Ranch and De Vilbiss Ranch. The topographic detail reveals the isolation of the coast at Bear Harbor and Mistake Point, separated from the interior by the high elevations of Timber Ridge and Jackass Ridge. For historians, the inclusion of remote locations like Dugans Opening and the logging-related settlement of Wheeler provides a window into the mid-century industrial and agricultural life of Mendocino County before more modern development reshaped the region.
