1955 Map of Healdsburg

About this map

Healdsburg serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the Russian River valley, where the city’s residential core is framed by a landscape of orchards, vineyards, and timber. The Northwestern Pacific Railroad follows the Russian River corridor, connecting a string of agricultural hamlets and rail stops such as Geyserville, Lytton, and Windsor. This era shows the region before the widespread suburbanization of the late 20th century, with the valley floor still defined by large landholdings like the Circle S Ranch and Montvale Farm.
