About this map

Bodega Bay and the surrounding coastline of Sonoma County are defined by the geological transition at the San Andreas Fault, which cuts directly through the harbor. This modern survey shows the residential expansion of coastal settlements like Carmet and Salmon Creek against the complex terrain of the Pacific shoreline. The peninsula at Bodega Head remains a central landmark, featuring the curious excavation site known as Hole in the Head and the protected waters of Campbell Cove.

Along the coast, a sequence of rocky features and beaches includes Arched Rock, Gull Rocks, and Mussel Point. Inland, the landscape is deeply etched by gulches such as Johnson Gulch and Marshall Gulch, while Doran Spit forms the southern boundary of the inner bay. The map detail extends to local infrastructure and preservation, tracing the Bodega Head Nature Trail and the local Bodega Bay Cemetery.
