About this map

Mark West Springs and the northern reaches of Santa Rosa occupy the lower elevations of this terrain, where the Mayacmas Mountains rise toward the Sonoma and Napa county line. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and varied topography, including distinctive landmarks like Chalk Mtn and the steep walls of Gates Canyon. The map records a modern network of residential and rural developments, evidenced by named neighborhoods such as Shiloh Ridge and Shiloh Mdw.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with Mark W Cr winding through the hills while smaller features like Frog Lake and Lake Orth sit tucked away in the highlands. Significant local valleys such as Franz Valley and Knights Valley illustrate the agricultural and residential pockets that characterize this portion of Northern California, while peaks like Redwood Hill and Sugarloaf provide prominent reference points for those studying the area's physical history and modern land use.
