1954 Map of Valley Ford

About this map

Valley Ford sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, where the Estero Americano winds through the hills toward Bodega Bay. The map reveals a rural economy organized around small settlements like Bodega, Freestone, and Fallon, with a network of country schools including Potter Sch, Watson Sch, and Burnside Sch serving the surrounding ranchlands. The topography is defined by significant watercourses like Salmon Creek and Stemple Creek, which carve through the Blucher and Cañada de Pogolimi regions.
