Wheeler was a company town in Mendocino County, California.[1] Located 8.5 miles (14 km) southwest of Piercy,[2] at an elevation of 43 feet (13 m),[1] it was built adjacent to Jackass Creek for logging operations in 1948 and survived until 1959. Sinkyone Wilderness State Park acquired the Lost Coast property after 1975. No structures remain at the location, now used as a campground.[3]
