About this map

Sebastopol stands as the central hub of this mid-century Sonoma County landscape, where the town's expansion is captured in purple revisions against a mid-1950s base. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Laguna de Santa Rosa and Mark West Creek, creating a broad valley floor dotted with an exceptional density of rural education centers, including the Analy Union HS, Piner High Sch, and numerous local schoolhouses like Vine Hill Sch and Pleasant Hill Sch.

Industrial and agricultural patterns are evident in the rail lines of the Northwestern Pacific and the presence of the Santa Rosa Air Center. Smaller settlements such as Graton, Molino, and Fulton are linked by historic corridors like Guerneville Road. The map documents a landscape in transition, where established ranching boundaries like Llano De Santa Rosa meet the growing suburban footprint of Santa Rosa.
