About this map

Sea Ranch and the coastal hamlet of Stewarts Point anchor this Sonoma County coastline, where the land drops sharply from ridges into the Pacific Ocean. The geography is defined by the underlying San Andreas Fault, which runs parallel to the shore, influencing the course of the South Fork Gualala River. This area shows a mix of planned coastal development and older rural foundations, with The Sea Ranch Airport serving the northern reaches and historic local sites like the Buckeye Creek Cemetery and Stewarts Point Cemetery providing links to early families.

Waterways like the Wheatfield Fork Gualala River and Buckeye Creek carve deep through the coastal range, separating prominent heights such as Beatty Ridge and Miller Ridge. The shoreline is a succession of points and coves, from White Cap Arch down to Fisherman Bay, reflecting a landscape where maritime access and the river-and-ridge topography dictated the location of settlements like Valley Crossing.
