2015 Map of San Rafael

About this map

Muir Woods National Monument and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area dominate the southwestern portion of this coastal Marin County landscape. The terrain rises sharply from the shoreline at Richardson Bay toward the heights of Mt Tamalpais Peak, with the notable Double Bowknot formation visible on the mountain's eastern slopes. The map traces the dense network of suburban development through the valleys, connecting settlements like San Rafael, Mill Valley, and Corte Madera. Along the northern edge, educational and community landmarks such as the Dominican Univ of California and Mount Tamalpais Cemetery serve as historical anchors for the surrounding neighborhoods of Sun Valley and San Anselmo. Infrastructure including Forbes Hill Reservoir and the winding course of Corte Madera Creek highlights the engineering required to support these hillside communities.
