1969 Map of Piercy

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The South Fork Eel River carves a winding path through this northern Mendocino County landscape, where the redwood timber economy and early travel routes intersect. The small community of Piercy and the nearby Andersonia serve as the primary hubs of activity along the river's eastern bank. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Jackass Ridge and Chimney Rock, revealing a wilderness patterned by numerous watercourses like Standley Creek and Indian Creek. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians is the isolated Lilley Grave near the river, along with the Moody (Site) and the Medcalf Ranch. This 1969 survey captures the region as conservation efforts were solidifying, evidenced by the presence of several protected areas including Richardson Grove State Park and the Smythe Redwoods State Reserve.
