1966 Map of Requa

About this map

The Klamath River meets the Pacific Ocean at the historic settlement of Requa, a focal point for this coastal survey of Del Norte County. The map details the overlapping jurisdictions of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation and the early boundaries of Redwood National Park. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the riverbanks and the corridor of Highway 101, where landmarks like the Trees of Mystery and the Louis P De Martin Sr Memorial Bridge serve as modern markers against a landscape of high ridges and deep drainages. Local institutional history is anchored by the Keating Sch and the Requa Cem, while the interior terrain is defined by named heights such as Teds Ridge and Er-Wern Ridge. The presence of the Alder Forestry Conservation Camp and the Redwood Ranger Sta reflects the region's mid-century management of its old-growth timber resources.
