1943 Map of Plantation

About this map

Plantation sits tucked away in the Sonoma hills above a dramatic coastline, serving as a quiet focal point during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by the steep descent from the South Fork Gualala River and its numerous tributaries like Haupt Creek and Sproule Creek toward the Pacific Ocean. This era shows a distributed rural infrastructure, evidenced by the four distinct schoolhouses serving the area: Gualala Sch, Plantation Sch, Stillwater Cove Sch, and Fort Ross Sch.
