Online Mapping Applications enable viewing of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Mapping Data covering all of Humboldt County. Key datasets include
- Aerial Photography
- Highways and Roads
- Land Use
- Parcels
- Streams
- USGS Topo Quads
- Zoning
Datasets have been compiled from various sources including State and Federal Agencies. Up-to-date Parcels and Roads data have been provided by City of Eureka GIS, City of Arcata GIS, and Humboldt County Planning. Digital Aerial Photography provided by City of Eureka GIS (2007) and USDA FSA Aerial Photography Field Office: County image mosaic for Humboldt, CA (NAIP 2005).
All Web GIS applications display map services with basic layers, functionality, and search options. Basic functionality includes map zooming and panning, identify, measurement, layer control, and map printing. Search by address or parcel number is available in all applications. Other search functions are also available depending on the application.
While parcel boundaries and maps are available for all parcels in Humboldt County including incorporated areas, this system only displays land use and zoning designations for parcels in the unincorporated areas of Humboldt County, not parcels in the cities of Arcata, Blue Lake, Eureka, Fortuna, Ferndale, Rio Dell, or Trinidad. Contact each city for General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designations for city parcels.
