About this map

Cloverdale serves as the primary hub of this northern Sonoma County landscape, situated where the Russian River flows between the Oat Valley and Alexander Valley. The town's grid, featuring West Main St and Washington St, sits just west of the Northwestern Pacific railroad line, which follows the river's path northward toward Preston. Outside the developed center, the topography rises sharply into the surrounding peaks, including Red Mtn and Thompson Ridge.

A distinct mid-century character is visible in landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the local Airstrip. The presence of the Cloverdale Rancheria and several outlying springs, such as Alderglen Springs, highlights the complex social and natural history of the area. This survey documents the transition from the valley's agricultural and transit-oriented corridor to the more remote, creek-carved terrain of Mendocino and Sonoma Counties.
