2012 Map of Saunders Reef

About this map

Saunders Reef lies just off the Mendocino County coastline, where the land breaks into a series of distinctive maritime landmarks and residential enclaves. This 2012 depiction captures the rugged interface of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal bluffs, including the uniquely named Bowling Ball Beach and the geological prominent Sail Rock. Small settlements and landing sites like Gallaway, Saunders Landing, and Iversen Landing dot the narrow strip of land between the sea and the coastal hills. The map highlights a landscape defined by sharp drainage ravines such as Schooner Gulch, Walker Gulch, and Morrison Gulch. Local road networks, including Iversen Ln and Iversen Dr, provide access to these coastal points and the Sail Rock Ranch, illustrating the modern rural-residential character of this northern California shoreline.
