2015 Map of Hopland

About this map

The Russian River carves a deep path through southern Mendocino County, anchoring a landscape where the Sanel Valley and McDowell Valley provide pockets of level ground amidst the Mayacmas Mountains. This 2015 survey details the spatial relationship between Hopland and Old Hopland, a distinction of interest to local historians tracing the shift of the town center. The map documents the Nacomis Indian Rancheria north of the river, while landmarks like Squaw Rock and the Squaw Rock Slide overlook the winding river corridor. High-elevation points like Oasis and Duncan Springs sit on the periphery of the river valley, connected by a network of ranch roads including Pomo Ranch Rd and Mountain House Rd. Genealogists will find the Hopland Cemetery clearly marked, along with smaller settlements like Pieta and Dawes that once served as vital points along this transit route.
