1942 Map of Willits

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Willits serves as the central hub of this northern California landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways and the Northwestern Pacific railroad. The map reveals a dense network of family ranching and early 20th-century settlements, including the Ridgewood Ranch to the south and the St Francis Ranch near the marshy expanse of Little Lake. Local education and community life are marked by the Hearst Sch in the northeast near Hearst, while the western terrain transitions into a rugged series of gulches and ridges like Bowman Ridge feeding into the Noyo River.
