1966 Map of Requa

About this map

The Klamath River reaches the Pacific at the settlement of Requa, where the Hoopa Indian Reservation meets the northern California coastline. This mid-1960s terrain is characterized by steep ridges like Teds Ridge and Mynot Ridge falling toward the sea, largely protected within the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park. In the river estuary, sandbars and flats such as Hatzis Flat and Waukell Flat suggest the shifting nature of the river mouth, while nearby Rancheria and Resighini represent significant cultural and tribal anchors. Landmarks like the Louis P DeMartin Sr Memorial Bridge and the Trees of Mystery along Route 101 indicate the early era of roadside tourism. Further inland, the Alder Forestry Conservation Camp and Keating Sch provide evidence of local infrastructure and resource management during this period.
