About this map

Hacketsville stands as a focal point in this portion of Humboldt County, situated amidst a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and high ridges. The area is characterized by several distinct open grasslands or prairies, including Sidehill Prairie, Moores Prairie, and Peaked Prairie, which offer a contrast to the surrounding forested drainages. To the south, the terrain rises toward Taylor Peak and Rainbow Peak, marking the divide between the river systems that drain this coastal region.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with the Bear River and its fork cutting through the center of the sheet, while the N Fork Mattole River and S Fork Mattole River emerge in the southern reaches. Local infrastructure is primarily geared toward ranching and resource management, as evidenced by Kinman Pond and an extensive network of named access routes such as Bear River Ridge Rd and the HRC Pacific Lmbr Logging Rd.
