About this map

The Russian River corridor anchors this northern California landscape, where the Northwestern Pacific railroad follows the valley floor through the settlement of Asti. This 1959 survey reveals an area defined by agricultural production and early industrial infrastructure, specifically noting a winery near the river and the Washington Sch serving the local rural population. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Mayacmas Mountains, marked by peaks like Pine Mountain and Pocket Peak.

The map preserves the underlying land tenure system through the labeling of large historic land grants such as Rincon De Musalacon and Caslamayomi. These boundaries, alongside the Grant Boundary line, illustrate the transition from Spanish and Mexican era holdings to modern parceling. Numerous waterways, including Big Sulphur Creek and Ash Creek, dissect the uplands, which are also dotted with isolated landmarks like a Radio Repeater Station and a Gaging Sta.
