1954 Map of Camp Meeker

About this map

Bohemian Grove and the winding course of the Russian River anchor this topographic study of Sonoma County's redwood country. The map captures a landscape defined by timber and tourism, where summer retreats like Camp Meeker, Rio Dell, and Mirabel Park cluster along the waterways. The shift from mid-century rural life to modern infrastructure is visible through revisions showing El Molino High Sch and residential growth near Forestville. Deep in the canyons, old logging legacies remain evident through place names like the Redwood Tree Farm and the camps at Alliance Redwood. The rugged transition from the river valley to the coastal ridges is marked by a network of narrow roads like Harrison Grade Road and Coleman Valley Road, serving small mountain communities and historic school districts including Jonive Sch and Green Valley Sch.
