About this map

Rohnert Park and Cotati anchor this detailed study of the Sonoma County landscape, illustrating the suburban and educational infrastructure that has defined the region in the early 21st century. The map highlights the extensive footprint of Sonoma State University and the Santa Rosa Jr College Petaluma Campus, marking these institutions as central hubs of the local community. These campuses are surrounded by a complex network of residential streets and creek corridors like Hinebaugh Creek and Copeland Creek.

Southward, the terrain transitions into a more varied landscape of hills and drainage basins. Landmarks such as Meacham Hill and Wiggins Hill rise above the agricultural and semi-rural outskirts, while the Petaluma River and Lichau Creek carve through the valley floors. Traditional local-history markers like the Liberty Cemetery and smaller settlements like Penngrove and Liberty provide a genealogical context, contrasting the modern density of Petaluma with the older agrarian patterns of the Stony Point and Denman Flat areas.
