Looked at that road on the map and I've been on it a couple of times. It leads up to a logging road called the 2000. If you start from town and take a different road (not the gravel place road), travel 25 miles to the 2000 road, it goes a handful of places including a city 28 miles away or even connects to an east/west highway that's 45 miles from town...... It also connects to interstate 5 if you don't mind a 5 hour ride that could be done in an hour by taking the highway like most people do. 
This area was where I got the bug for my backwood travel adventures when I got my driver's license.
Once you drive 20 miles on a mountainous gravel logging road and end up coming out somewhere else..... AKA "civilization"....you learn that all roads go somewhere and you have to check every single one of them to see if they dead end or not. Ahhh, I miss those days.
Before the coast highway (US 101), one of these roads was how you traveled to get to my town. Coming down the cliff blasted out next to a tall waterfall, you traveled across a trestle, then drove another 10 miles to board a barge or boat and floated another 12 miles in tidewater into town.
Life was different back then.
........did you ask a question?
