2012 Map of San Rafael

About this map

San Rafael and its neighboring communities are depicted here during a period of established suburban development and preserved open space. The terrain is dominated by the ridges and peaks of Mount Tamalpais, including West Peak and East Peak, which provide a dramatic backdrop to settlements like Mill Valley and San Anselmo. This survey shows how the residential layout of Corte Madera Ridge and Blithedale Ridge follows the complex contours of the land, contrasting with the more structured street grids found near Dominican University of California. Along the eastern shoreline, the map identifies maritime and coastal features such as Richardson Island and the Commodore Center Seaplane Base. Significant institutional landmarks like the College of Marin Kentfield Campus and recreational areas including the Mill Valley Golf Course and Mountain Theater highlight the area's social and educational infrastructure.
