2012 Map of Villa Creek

About this map

Evans Brothers Cow Camp sits above a dramatic stretch of the California coast where steep drainages like Redwood Gulch and Villa Cr meet the Pacific Ocean. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service captures a landscape of extreme vertical relief, defined more by its creek systems and primitive campsites than by any permanent town centers. Offshore landmarks like Whaleboat Rock and White Rock Number Two indicate the rocky and hazardous nature of the shoreline. The distribution of sites such as Cruickshank Campground and Buckeye Campground suggests a region primarily managed for recreation and resource protection. Notable water sources including Buckeye Spring and the upper reaches of Alder Cr are carefully mapped within the network of forest trails and high-clearance routes.
