2015 Map of Point Arena

About this map

Point Arena and the Mendocino coast are defined by the collision of maritime and geological forces, most notably the visible line of the San Andreas Fault cutting through the terrain north of the Garcia River. The 2015 landscape shows a coastal economy tied to its natural landmarks, from the headlands at Point Arena Arch and Sea Lion Rocks to the protected waters of Arena Cove. Inland, the settlement patterns of Manchester and Stronetta are woven between creek drainages like Brush Cr and Alder Cr, while the Iverson Indian Rancheria sits positioned between the river and the sea.
