About this map

Bohemian Grove and the winding course of the Russian River dominate this mid-century portrait of western Sonoma County. The map details a landscape transitioning from the riverfront recreation of Guerneville and Mirabel Park to the dense timberlands and canyons further south. Significant institutional and community sites are recorded, including Westminister Woods, Alliance Redwood, and a large Redwood Tree Farm near the headwaters of Fay Creek.

Settlement patterns follow the narrow valleys and ridges, with the village of Camp Meeker clustered along Dutch Bill Creek and the town of Occidental serving as a hub for the southern highlands. Local education and infrastructure are well-documented through landmarks like the Meeker Sch, Jonive Sch, and the Fire Control Sta. The terrain is deeply textured, from the heights of Mt Pisgah to the drainage of the Estero Americano in the south.
