Southport Landing, California

Southport Landing (formerly Myer's Landing and Myers Landing[1]) is a locality[1] in Humboldt County, California. It is located 2.5 miles (4 km) southwest of Fields Landing,[1] at an elevation of 7 feet (2.1 m).[2]

The Landing is at the end of the road where it meets the bay directly above Seth Kinman's blue house in the foreground.

The name "Myers" honors Jacob Myers, a prominent Humboldt Bay citizen in the 1850s.[1] The large white home of the Heneys, a prosperous merchant family, and the home of Seth Kinman remain.
