1942 Map of Bodega Head

About this map

Bodega Head and the surrounding Sonoma County coastline appear here during the early 1940s, a period of transition for this maritime landscape. The settlement of Bodega Bay sits tucked behind the protective curve of Bodega Harbor, while the tiny communities of Salmon Creek and Bodega provide further inland context for this ranching and fishing region. Landmarks such as Ocean View Sch and the winding course of Salmon Creek toward Salmon Creek Beach reveal a terrain defined by coastal bluffs and sheltered coves.
