About this map

The Smith River delta and the rugged coastline of northern California meet the Oregon border in this detailed topographic study. The settlement of Smith River serves as a focal point near the winding Rowdy Cr, surrounded by a network of agricultural roads and drainage features like Tillas Slough and Yontocket Slough. To the south, the historical site of Yontocket sits near the marshes of Pelican Bay, reflecting the long human presence in this fertile alluvial plain.

Coastal geography is defined by a series of prominent offshore features, including Prince Island, Hunter Rock, and Cone Rock, while the northern edge of the map transition into the protected lands of the Siskiyou National Forest. The map traces the intricate water system of the area, from the S Fork Winchuck River at the state line down to Tryon Corner, providing a clear view of the land use patterns where the river meets the Pacific Ocean.
