2018 Map of Sister Rocks

About this map

Crescent City sits at the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the harbor is defined by a series of rocky outcroppings including Battery Point Island and Whaler Island. The coastline south of the city is characterized by the wide sweep of Crescent Beach, which transitions into the protected landscape of Redwood National Park. This area showcases a network of paths such as the Crescent Beach Trail and the Coastal Trail (Last Chance), providing access to the steep bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with prominent sea stacks like Sister Rocks and sharp geographical markers such as Midway Point. Small coastal drainages including Nickel Creek and Damnation Creek carve through the heavily forested ridges, illustrating the relationship between the upland woods and the immediate shore.
