Del Norte County 1 article

Del Norte County occupies California's far northwestern coast near Oregon, with Crescent City serving as its county seat. Redwood forests, the Smith River and rugged Pacific shorelines help define the region, while fishing, tourism and small communities support its economy. Connections to other areas depend heavily on a few coastal and inland highways. Tsunami evacuation planning, landslide-prone routes and access to health care are especially important in this remote coastal setting.
