About this map

Bodega Bay and the narrow Doran Spit define this stretch of the Sonoma coast, where the landscape transitions from the protected waters of Campbell Cove to the wave-sculpted bluffs of Bodega Head. This 2021 survey shows a shoreline dominated by public access and nature preserves, including the Bodega Dunes Beach Access Rd and the intricate trail networks of North Salmon Creek Beach. The settlement of Salmon Creek sits just inland from the river's mouth, while the community of Carmet anchors the northern coastline near Arched Rock Beach.

The interior terrain is marked by a series of steep gulches and ridges, such as Sheep Ridge and Johnson Gulch, which drain toward the bay. Local history is anchored by the Bodega Bay Cem and landmarks like Alice Rock and Miwok Beach, reflecting both the geological and cultural layers of the region. The map also traces the modern infrastructure of the harbor, from Spud Point to the defensive North Jetty and South Jetty that guard the entrance to the inner waters.
