2015 Map of Tyee City

About this map

Tyee City stands at the edge of the coastal landscape where the Mad River meets the shoreline, north of the productive agricultural lands of the Arcata Bottoms. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a delicate interface between the Pacific Ocean and the intricate wetlands of the Mad River Slough. The geography is defined by narrow coastal roads like Ocean Dr and Mad River Rd, which navigate the shifting terrain between the river's mouth and the open sea.
