King Range National Conservation Area
Wilderness Press California's Lost Coast Recreation MapCovers King Range National Conservation Area and Sinkyone Wilderness State Park
This publication includes a topographic map of King Range NCA (overseen by the US Bureau of Land Management) on one side, another of adjacent Sinkyone Wilderness State Park (California State Parks) on the reverse. These areas are along the coast west of Leggett, Garberville, and Humboldt Redwoods State Park (all south of Eureka).The maps show topographic contours, but only at 250- or 500-foot intervals—much less frequent than normally expected at these scales. But the maps clearly show the trails, roads, campsites, parking areas, and other features of both areas. There is a generous amount of text by hiking travel writer John McKinney describing each area, its history, camping opportunities, park rules and more. Now printed on waterproof plastic.
Scale of King Range NCA map, about 1:60,000 (1 inch = about 0.95 mile); scale of Sinkyone Wilderness map, about 1:37,270 (1 inch = about 0.6 mile). Contour interval = 500 (King Range) or 250 feet (Sinkyone). Size: about 23½ x 36 inches. Folded. Plastic.

Klamath National Forest

Vicinity maps in other insets show the major access roads and adjacent National Forests.
