About this map

Ukiah serves as the inland anchor for this 1980s landscape, where the Russian River flows through a valley defined by the Mayacmas Mountains and the Anderson Valley. This map illustrates the transition from the timber-rich highlands of the Jackson State Forest to the rugged Pacific coastline. Along the shore, the Point Cabrillo Light Station marks a treacherous stretch of sea between the coastal settlements of Fort Bragg and Mendocino.

Transport patterns are deeply influenced by the terrain, featuring the winding path of the California Western railroad and the essential connection of State Route 1. Inland, the creation of Lake Mendocino and the established agricultural communities of Potter Valley and Boonville show a different side of Mendocino County's development. Numerous protected areas, including Van Damme Beach State Park and Hendy Woods State Park, preserve the groves and shorelines that define this region.
