About this map

Humboldt Redwoods State Park dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by towering groves and the winding courses of the Eel River and its South Fork. The map documents the early infrastructure of the redwood coast, where the Redwood Highway and the Avenue of the Giants thread through named preserves like the Garden Club of America Grove and Founders Grove, the latter noted for its Tallest Tree.

Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and the Northwestern Pacific Railroad corridor, connecting small communities such as Weott, Pepperwood, and Dyerville. Local history is preserved in the location of the Camp Grant (Site) and several rural institutions, including the Pepperwood Sch, Excelsior Sch, and the Fruitland Ch. Farther east, the Van Duzen River passes through Van Duzen State Park and the village of Bridgeville, while the interior remains marked by high points like Chalk Mountain and Grasshopper Mountain.
