About this map

Stinson Beach and the residential streets of Bolinas Mesa anchor this coastal survey, where the Pacific tide meets the sprawling wetlands of Bolinas Lagoon. The landscape is defined by the prominent Bolinas Ridge, which separates the coastal settlements from the interior drainages of Kent Lake and Alpine Lake. A sophisticated network of trails and fire roads, such as the Dipsea Trail and Willow Camp Fire Road, crisscross the ridges, reflecting the area's transition into a major conservation and recreation zone.

Deeply notched canyons like Audubon Canyon and Volunteer Canyon cut into the eastern slopes of the ridge, while the western edge is marked by the geological features of Duxbury Reef and the sweeping sands of Palomarin Beach. The map details the interface between the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, showcasing how early settlements like Woodville remained nestled within these protected lands.
