About this map

The King Range National Conservation Area dominates this coastal landscape, where the land rises sharply from the Pacific Ocean to the high crests of the King Range. This map captures a wilderness terrain characterized by a dense network of ridges such as Moody Ridge, Telegraph Ridge, and Tan Oak Ridge. A notable human element in this remote environment is the Landing Strip situated on the coastal terrace of Big Flat, providing one of the few level access points along this stretch of the Lost Coast. Further south, Miller Flat and the offshore Black Rock mark the rugged transition between the mountains and the sea.

To the northeast, the Mattole River snakes through the valley, fed by numerous tributaries including Honeydew Creek and Bear Trap Creek. Peaks like Shubrick Peak, Hadley Peak, and North Slide Peak define the high country, connected by the high-elevation King Range Road. The map documents the complex topography of deep gulches and prairies, such as Fiddle Prairie, as they existed during the late 20th-century photo-inspections.
