1960 Map of Saunders Reef

About this map

Saunders Landing and Iversen Landing anchor this coastal segment of Mendocino County, where the terrestrial economy met the Pacific Ocean in the mid-20th century. The map illustrates a landscape of deep drainage ravines and gulches, including Schooner Gulch and Walker Gulch, that cut through the coastal terrace. A prominent Lumber Mill situated near the head of Schooner Gulch points to the timber industry's presence in the region during this era.
