About this map

The Russian River corridor anchors this 1960s study of the Mendocino and Sonoma county line, where the Northwestern Pacific Railroad and State Hwy 101 follow the valley floor. The geography shifts from the agricultural Sanel Valley in the north to the growing hub of Cloverdale in the south. Notable cultural landmarks include the Old Hopland settlement and the Hopland Indian Reservation, alongside mid-century infrastructure like a Drive-in Theater near the riverbanks.

Mountainous terrain dominates the west and east, featuring prominent peaks such as Snow Mtn and Red Mtn. Water systems are intricately mapped, from the Gualala River headwaters at Wheatfield Fork to numerous creeks like Feliz Creek and Dry Creek. The inclusion of the Squaw Rock Slide Historical Marker provides a specific point of reference for local geomorphic history, while the presence of the Cloverdale Rancheria and Valley Oaks Farm illustrates the diverse land use throughout the Russian River valley.
