About this map

The settlement of Cazadero serves as the focal point for this survey of the Russian River hinterlands, where the landscape transitions from steep ridges to narrow creek valleys. A strong recreational presence is evident through numerous mid-century retreats such as Romans Resort, Ohmen Resort, and Trospers Resort, alongside institutional landmarks like Berkeley Camp and the Camp G C Moore (Boy Scouts). Education in these isolated pockets was anchored by local institutions including Montgomery Sch, Austin Creek Sch, and Kidd Creek Sch.

Land use across the region is defined by family ranching and resource extraction, with the Doelger Ranch and Luttrell Ranch occupying high ground while the Marble Mine sits on the eastern flank of Marble Mine Ridge. The southeastern corner is dominated by the redwood groves of Armstrong Grove State Park. Notable terrain features like The Cedars and The Big Brush suggest the varied vegetation and land cover that characterized Sonoma County before modern development intensified.
