About this map

The San Andreas Fault Zone dominates the structural character of this coastal landscape, running parallel to the rugged shoreline and influencing the path of the South Fork Gualala River. Along the coast, small maritime and residential pockets such as Del Mar Landing and Stewarts Point serve as focal points for this stretch of Sonoma County. The map captures the region in the late 1970s, showcasing the development of the Sea Ranch Airport and the coastal clusters around Black Point contrasted with the more isolated interior ridges.

Further inland, the terrain is defined by the steep rises of BeatTY Ridge and Miller Ridge, where the winding Annapolis Road connects the small settlement of Annapolis to the coast. This geography illustrates a clear divide between the coastal terrace and the heavily dissected ridges of the interior, where names like Mc Clellon Gulch and Buckeye Creek mark the drainage patterns flowing toward the Wheatfield Fork Gualala River.
