About this map

Sebastopol serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Russian River Valley and the Santa Rosa Plain. The town's expansion is visible through urban revisions, showing its growth around Analy Union High Sch and Parkside Sch. To the east, the sprawling Naval Auxiliary Air Station dominates the landscape near Wright Sch, while the Northwestern Pacific railroad tracks bisect the region, connecting the small community of Fulton to the larger centers.

Agricultural and community life is anchored by landmarks like the Sebastopol Grange and numerous local schools, including Oak Grove Union Sch near Graton. The complex hydrology of the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Atascadero Creek defines the low-lying areas between the hills of Vine Hill and the established orchards of Gravenstein. These patterns reflect a period of transition as rural Sonoma County acreage began shifting toward more concentrated residential development.
