Northspur, California

Northspur is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California. It is located on the California Western Railroad 11 mi north of Comptche, at an elevation of 358 feet (109 m) at Milepost 20.

At one time Northspur had a population of some 400 people, but declined along with the logging industry in the area. In 1974, there were still a few residents completely dependent on rail service on the California Western for travel into and out of the community. Today Northspur is primarily a stop on the railroad where refreshments and entertainment are available in season.

A post office operated at Northspur from 1910 to 1922.
