2012 Map of Petaluma

About this map

The Petaluma River winds through the heart of the city, defining the industrial and residential boundaries of early 21st-century Petaluma. This survey documents the transition from the dense urban grid of the historic center and East Petaluma to the expansive ranch lands and dairy country to the west and south. Notable burial sites including Cypress Hill Memorial Park, B'nai Israel Cem, and Petaluma Calvary Cem are situated on the northern edge of the settlement near the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds. Beyond the town limits, the landscape is marked by prominent peaks and valleys, including Antonio Mountain, Hicks Mountain, and the agricultural expanse of Hicks Valley. Waterways like San Antonio Cr and Arroyo Sausal drain the western hills toward the river valley, illustrating the local topography that has shaped Sonoma County's agricultural development.
