1981 Map of Point Arena

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Mendocino and Sonoma counties are defined by the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and the steep ridges of the California Coast Ranges. Along the northern shoreline, the Point Arena Lighthouse stands as a sentinel near the U S Coast Guard Reservation and the Point Arena U S Air Force Station, reflecting the area's strategic and maritime importance. Inland, the topography is carved by the Garcia River and Russian River, while the Warm Springs Dam has created Lake Sonoma at the confluence of several creeks.
