1972 Map of Healdsburg

About this map

Clear Lake and the volcanic peak of Mount Konocti anchor the northern landscape of this region, which includes the southern portion of Lake County and the wine-growing valleys of Sonoma and Napa. This 1972 survey shows a transition between the established vineyards of the Napa Valley and Alexander Valley and the developing recreation areas around Lake Berryessa State Recreation Area. The Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor traces the Russian River through Healdsburg and Geyserville, serving the timber and agricultural hubs of the era. Public lands are prominently established, including Boggs Mountain State Forest and the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial State Park surrounding Mount St Helena, illustrating the balance of resource management and early 1970s land preservation in the North Bay counties.
