1920 Map of Pt. Delagda

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

Shelter Cove and the windswept coastline of Humboldt County dominate this 1916 survey, conducted by the Corps Of Engineers, U. S. Army. The map reveals a frontier landscape where settlement is defined by isolated family operations such as Etters Ranch, Hindleys Ranch, and Ray's Dairy. The difficult terrain of the King Range is evident in the steep contouring around King Pk and the sharp descent of Gitchell Creek toward the Pacific Ocean. This era represents a period when the Mattole River valley remained largely dependent on trails and remote ranching outposts like Honey Dew. For genealogists and local historians, the specific naming of family holdings like Smiths Ranch and Boots Ranch provides a precise record of early 20th-century land use along this stretch of the California coast before modern development reached these isolated drainages.
