About this map

Sebastopol serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by an intricate web of agricultural and rail history. The low-lying wetlands of the Laguna de Santa Rosa separate the main town from the open country to the east, while the Northwestern Pacific Railroad and the Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railroad intersect the landscape, illustrating the importance of regional transport to the local economy.

Rural life is marked by numerous district schools such as Oak Grove Union Sch and the Hall Sch (Abandoned), alongside local landmarks like the Sebastopol Grange. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Naval Auxiliary Air Station, providing a stark contrast to the small-town character of nearby settlements like Graton, Trenton, and Molino. Notable terrain includes the elevations of Vine Hill, which overlook the orchards and vineyards typical of this part of Sonoma County.
