About this map

Bodega Head and the sheltering Doran Spit define this coastal landscape where the Pacific Ocean meets the quiet waters of Bodega Harbor. This 2012 study details the maritime infrastructure of the region, from the Spud Point Marina and Porto Bodega Marina to the academic presence of the University of California Marine Laboratory. The geography of the shoreline is meticulously recorded, noting the transition from the sandy expanses of Bodega Dunes to the prominent rocky features of Arched Rock and Mussel Point.

Residential and recreational patterns are evident in the settlements of Bodega Bay, Carmet, and Salmon Creek. The map documents the extensive reach of the Sonoma Coast State Park and its various campgrounds, alongside local landmarks like the Bodega Bay Cem and the uniquely named Hole in the Head. Numerous coastal gulches, such as Shorttail Gulch and Johnson Gulch, segment the terrain as it rises toward inland heights like Mount Roscoe.
