1972 Map of Bodega Head

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Bodega Harbor and its distinctive sheltering peninsula form the centerpiece of this coastal survey, which documents the shoreline during the early 1970s. The geologically significant San Andreas Rift Zone is clearly marked as it traverses the narrow neck of land between the harbor and the sea, creating the unique topography of Bodega Head. This era shows the developed waterfront of Bodega Bay and the nearby Salmon Creek settlement, alongside scientific and public infrastructure like the University of California Marine Laboratory and Doran County Park. Inland, the landscape rises toward Mount Roscoe and Sheep Ridge, dissected by numerous gulches such as Cheney Gulch and Johnson Gulch. The map records a balance of recreational coastal use at Sonoma Coast State Beach and localized industry, evidenced by a Quarry and various utility substations.
