1952 Map of Spyrock

About this map

The Round Valley Indian Reservation dominates the center of this map, surrounding the settlement of Covelo where a Windmill and a Cemetery mark the local landscape. This mid-century survey illustrates the vital role of the Northwestern Pacific railroad, which follows the winding course of the Eel River. Small stops and communities like Nashmead, Spyrock, and River Garden cling to this rail corridor, serving as essential links in an area defined by its deep canyons and significant ridges like Updegraff Ridge.
