1969 Map of Weott

About this map

Humboldt Redwoods State Park dominates this landscape, preserving an incredible network of named groves along the Eel River and its South Fork. The map documents the region's dedication to conservation through specific endowments like the Garden Club of America Grove and the Rockefeller Redwood Forest. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the river corridor and the winding Avenue of the Giants, where the town of Weott and Myers Flat serve as primary hubs. Evidence of older history is found at the Dyerville and Camp Grant sites, reflecting shifts in population centers over time. Transportation is defined by the Northwestern Pacific railroad hugging the river banks, while the interior is accessible only by routes like Bull Creek Road and the Burlington Trail. Natural landmarks such as the Founders Tree and Grasshopper Mountain highlight the extreme elevation changes of this coastal range.
