2018 Map of Redcrest

About this map

Redcrest sits at the heart of this Humboldt County corridor where the Eel River dictates the layout of human settlement. The landscape is a mix of alluvial flats and steep rises, with communities like Shively, Holmes, and Englewood positioned on level ground near the water. Movement through this timber-rich region is traced by the Pacific Lumber Company Rd and numerous local routes like Shively Rd and Peavine Rd. The river's influence is evident in the naming of large open areas such as Shively Flat and Holmes Flat. To the east, the terrain climbs toward the Chalk Mountains and Clark Mtn, while recreational access is highlighted by the Drury-Chaney Loop Trail and the High Rock River Trail winding along the valley floor. The map also captures several traditional prairies, including Chadd Prairie and Horse Prairie, which punctuate the dense forest cover of the Eel River basin.
