About this map

Novato serves as the central hub of this 2012 survey, revealing the complex suburban and tidal landscape of Marin County just after the turn of the millennium. The map documents the historic core of Old Town alongside expanding residential developments like Novato Heights and the waterfront community of Bel Marin Keys. Notable landmarks include the sprawling aviation history at Hamilton Field and local recreation points such as the Novato Horsemans Arena.

To the south, the landscape transitions into the hills and valleys of Lucas Valley and Marinwood. The drainage patterns of Miller Cr and Novato Cr are clearly defined as they move toward the Petaluma River and San Pablo Bay. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks like Mount Olivet Cem and the institutional grounds of Saint Vincent, providing a precise record of this North Bay corridor's modern infrastructure and preserved open spaces.
