2022 Map of Redcrest

About this map

Redcrest and Englewood anchor this map of the redwood country, where the winding course of the Eel River meets the legendary Ave of the Giants. The landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and small river-bottom settlements like Holmes, Larabee, and Pepperwood. This area showcases the transition from agricultural flats, such as Chadd Prairie and Shively Flat, to the steep, wooded slopes of the Chalk Mountains and Peavine Ridge. The presence of the Pacific Lumber Company Rd and numerous haul roads like PL-Haul RD and L P Haul RD points to the region's enduring timber industry. Near the northern boundary, the Van Duzen River flows past Weonme Flat and through the sharp bend of Devils Elbow, illustrating the difficult terrain that shaped local transportation routes and settlement patterns for generations.
