About this map

Santa Rosa serves as the dense urban core of this Sonoma County landscape, surrounded by a distinct ring of suburban and rural neighborhoods. The map reveals an extensive concentration of historical burial grounds north of the city center, including the Santa Rosa Rural Cem, Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem, and Santa Rosa Memorial Park. These sites, clustered together, offer significant genealogical value for the region.

To the east and south, the terrain rises toward Taylor Mountain and Cooks Peak, where the residential grid gives way to open space and landmarks like the Matanzas Creek Winery. Water management is a defining feature of the area, with numerous reservoirs such as Pine Creek Reservoir and Santa Rosa Creek Reservoir supporting the valley. The map also documents the educational and recreational infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Roseland University Preparatory High School to the Bennett Valley Golf Course.
