About this map

The Klamath River meets the Pacific Ocean in this mid-1960s study of the Del Norte coastline. The landscape is defined by its ridge systems, including Teds Ridge and Mynot Ridge, which separate the various creek drainages flowing toward the estuary. Human settlement is concentrated near the river mouth at Requa and Klamath, with the Waukell Flat Rancheria and Resighini located further inland along the southern bank.

Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and coastal management appears throughout, from the Klamath Air Force Station perched on the bluffs to the Trees of Mystery along the coastal highway. Genealogists may note local landmarks such as Requa Cem and the Keating Sch, while the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and the Redwood Ranger Sta indicate the importance of resource preservation in this era.
