About this map

Timber processing and coastal navigation define this 1940s landscape where the Klamath River meets the Pacific. The timber industry is represented by the Klamath Cedar Co Sawmill and Klamath Cedar Co Veneer Mill located near Klamath and Requa. These settlements served as vital hubs for the local economy, supported by infrastructure like the Requa School and recreational sites such as Camp Klamath.

The rugged coastline is a prominent feature, marked by dramatic landmarks such as False Klamath Rock, Flint Rock Head, and Wilson Rock. To the north, Crescent City anchors the shoreline, while the interior is dominated by the dense topography of the Siskiyou National Forest and Del Norte Coast State Park. Numerous drainages including Hunter Creek and Wilson Creek cut through the steep terrain, illustrating the complex geography of this coastal region.
