About Muir
Muir was once known as an "unincorporated community." This means it was a small area where people lived, but it didn't have its own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it was managed by the larger county government, which in this case is Mendocino County.
Where is Muir?
Muir is located in California, a state on the west coast of the United States. Specifically, it's in Mendocino County. You can find it about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) southeast of downtown Willits. It sits at an elevation of 1,388 feet (423 meters) above sea level.
The Railroad Connection
Muir is situated along the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. Railroads were very important in the past for transporting goods and people across long distances. Being located near a railroad often meant a community could grow and connect with other places.
