About this map

Point Arena stands prominently on the Mendocino coast, serving as a focal point for maritime activity with its Lighthouse and established Coast Guard Reservation. The coastal landscape is defined by the broad reach of Manchester State Beach and the mouth of the Garcia River, which meanders through the flats near Manchester. Settlement patterns show a mix of coastal development and inland ranching, including the Manchester (Point Arena) Rancheria.

Further south, the small community of Flumeville is situated near a local Airstrip, while Arena Cove provides a natural harbor sheltered by the headlands. Topographic details highlight the transition from the marine environment at Sea Lion Rocks to the rising elevations of Buckridge and Eureka Hill. Revisions from the mid-1970s illustrate subtle changes in the built environment of Point Arena, including updated structures near Cem and along Curley Lane.
