About this map

Santa Rosa serves as the focal point of this mid-1990s landscape, illustrating a period of significant suburban expansion between the hills of Annadel State Park and the lowlands of Bellevue. The map documents the city's civic and cultural heart, featuring the Luther Burbank Gardens and the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Transportation patterns are defined by the Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor and the branching road network of Montgomery Village and Rincon Valley.

Beyond the urban core, the terrain rises toward Taylor Mtn and Bennett Mtn, framing the agricultural character of Bennett Valley. Local history is anchored by numerous institutions, including the Jr College, Rural Cemetery, and the Bennett Valley Grange Hall. The intricate drainage of Santa Rosa Creek and its tributaries, such as Matanzas Creek, highlights the natural riparian system that historically shaped the region's development before the intensification of modern infrastructure.
