About this map

Bodega Harbor and the protective spit of Doran Beach dominate this mid-century coastal survey. The terrain transitions from the rocky shoreline at Mussel Pt and Horseshoe Cove to the steep ridges of Mount Roscoe and Irish Hill. In the north, the small settlement of Salmon Creek sits near the mouth of its namesake waterway, while the rural landscape inland is dotted with family-named features like Coleman Hill and the Ocean View Sch. The intricate network of ravines, including Cheney Gulch and Johnson Gulch, illustrates the complex drainage of the Sonoma coast. Local road networks like Valley Ford Road connect these coastal outposts to the interior, reflecting a period of quiet rural development and maritime orientation before significant modern expansion. The map also captures several named offshore hazards, notably Bodega Rock and Arched Rock.
