2015 Map of Boonville

About this map

Boonville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Mendocino County, where the valley floor meets an intricate system of ridges and gulches. The landscape is defined by several unique clearings or meadows known locally as openings, such as Shoemake Opening, Barkshed Opening, and Jakes Opening, which punctuate the timbered slopes. Water resources are plentiful throughout the drainages, from the significant flow of Anderson Cr and Soda Cr to smaller landmarks like Laurel Spring and Cow Spring. High points including Casabonne Peak and Cow Mtn overlook a complex network of ridges, including Black Oak Ridge and Sherman Ridge. For the local historian, the map details the rural road system connecting these remote points, featuring named routes like Boonville Rd and Peachland Rd that link the settlement at Soda Springs to the wider valley.
