About this map

Muir Woods National Monument and the eastern slopes of the Tamalpais massif dominate this landscape, where the redwood canyons of Redwood Canyon and Kent Canyon descend toward the bayside communities of Marin County. The complex topography includes iconic summits like East Peak and West Peak, alongside the important water reserves of Lake Lagunitas and Bon Tempe Lake. This map reveals the intricate boundary between protected wilderness and the dense residential networks of San Anselmo, Ross, and Larkspur.

Educational and civic landmarks are prominent throughout the urban corridor, including the Dominican University of California, the San Francisco Theological Seminary, and the College of Marin. The infrastructure of the Northwestern Pacific RR and Us 101 facilitates movement between settlements like Mill Valley and the regional center at San Rafael, while the Marin County Civic Center stands as a primary landmark in the north.
