1955 Map of Geyserville

About this map

Alexander Valley dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, where the Russian River winds past the established community of Geyserville. The economic and social geography of the era is clearly defined by the parallel routes of the Redwood Highway and the Northwestern Pacific railroad, which connect smaller sidings and points like Chianti, Omus, and Nervo. These transport corridors served the region's agricultural interests, linking orchards and vineyards to larger markets.
