About this map

Redwood National Park dominates the interior of this coastal landscape, where high ridgelines like Rodgers Peak look down upon a complex network of forest drainage systems and lagoon ecosystems. The interface between the Pacific Ocean and the mainland is defined by the Big Lagoon Spit, a narrow landform separating the open ocean from the brackish waters of Big Lagoon and the nearby Big Lagoon Marsh. Further north, Stone Lagoon and Dry Lagoon sit tucked behind the coast near Sharp Point, illustrating the unique hydrology of this Humboldt County region.

Transportation through these dense forests is primarily managed via specialized routes like the 44 Creek Loop and Hammond Truck Rd. Recreational access is concentrated along the Redwood Creek Trail and the Tall Trees Trail, which track the winding path of Redwood Creek as it moves toward the coast. Numerous smaller tributaries, including Fortyfour Cr and Tom McDonald Cr, carve deep into the terrain, reflecting the heavy rainfall and high relief of the Pacific Northwest.
