1960 Map of Point Arena
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Lighthouse at Point Arena stands as a prominent sentinel on this coastal Mendocino County survey, marking a jagged shoreline where the Pacific Ocean meets the northern California terrain. This era of the 1950s and 1960s captures the landscape before modern development, showing the coastal community and nearby Manchester connected by the winding Garcia River. Civil and maritime infrastructure is notably detailed, including a Coast Guard Reservation, a Loran Mast, and a dedicated Radio Facility, alongside local landmarks like the Cem and Flumeville. The mapping of Manchester Beach State Park and the Manchester (Point Arena) Rancheria illustrates the diverse land use, from public recreation and indigenous lands to the rural agricultural tracts surrounding Buckridge Creek and Hathaway Creek.
