About this map

Pacific Ocean swells meet the coastline of Humboldt County in this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape is dominated by the southern reaches of Big Lagoon. The settlement of Big Lagoon sits perched near the water's edge, connected by local routes like Lynda Ln and Park Rd. This area reflects a narrow margin of habitable land between the high coastal bluffs and the vast waters of the lagoon and ocean.

Further south along the shoreline, distinctive geological and coastal features emerge, including the prominent Ceremonial Rock and Abalone Point. Small drainages such as Penn Cr and Beach Cr carve through the terrain toward Agate Beach and Cannonball Beach. The mapping captures the precise intersection of land and sea, illustrating how the coastal topography dictates the placement of Roundhouse Creek Rd and the small cluster of local development at the lagoon's edge.
