About this map

Coastal ranching and logging operations define this Mendocino County landscape during the mid-1940s. The settlement of Elk sits prominently along the Pacific Ocean shoreline, adjacent to Cuffy Cove and the maritime infrastructure at Bridgeport Landing. The interior is heavily marked by family-named holdings and resource extraction, with features like Railroad Gulch and Tramway Gulch indicating the era's timber transport methods. Education was decentralized across the ridge tops, served by the Navarro Ridge School House, Blossom School, and Bridgeport School. Further inland, the terrain rises toward Keene Summit and Cold Springs Fire Lookout, overlooking a network of drainages including the Navarro River and Greenwood Creek. These labels preserve the names of early resident families, from the Christiansen Ranch near the coast to the McAllister Ranch in the southern hills.
