About this map

The King Range National Conservation Area dominates this coastal landscape where the steep ridges of the Lost Coast meet the Pacific Ocean. This late 1960s survey documents a wilderness defined by extreme topography and isolated shorelines, including the alluvial expanse of Big Flat and Miller Flat. Historical transit is preserved through primitive routes like the Moody Trail and the King Range Trail (Pack), which traverse high points such as Hadley Peak and Shubrick Peak.

A functional Landing Strip at the edge of the ocean near Big Flat Creek highlights the area's limited accessibility, while the inland corner shows the winding course of the Mattole River. The map captures a moment when resource management and conservation were becoming the primary focus for these Humboldt County mountains, evidenced by the network of ridges including Harris Ridge and Rattlesnake Ridge.
