Parcel boundaries are from the Humboldt County Planning website
1948 – 1988 imagery is from the Humboldt Bay and Eel River Atlas
1993 – 2012 imagery is from the USDA National Agriculture Imagery Program
The berm line is the general position of the back edge of the beach, which is at the base of the fore dune berm. These positions are from 1948 and 2012.
The magenta lines represent the general position of the westernmost boundary of the dune forest. These positions are from 1948 and 2012. The westernmost magenta line is the easternmost boundary of the foredune in 1948.
