2018 Map of Petaluma

About this map

The Petaluma city limits and the winding Sonoma and Marin County line define this study of a storied agricultural and riverine landscape. To the north, the urban street grid gives way to notable local landmarks such as Cypress Hill Memorial Park and the B'nai Israel Cem, while the Northwestern Pacific RR follows the corridor of the Petaluma River. The map highlights the transition from the industrial McNear Channel and its namesake McNear Peninsula into the rolling dairy country of Chileno Valley. Toward the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward Antonio Mtn and Hicks Mtn, overlooking the remote reaches of Hicks Valley. Key drainages like San Antonio Cr and Novato Cr carve through the coastal hills, illustrating the geographic divide between the Petaluma watershed and the valleys leading toward the San Francisco Bay.
