2018 Map of Warm Springs Dam

About this map

Warm Springs Dam serves as the focal point of this northern Sonoma County landscape, holding back the waters of Lake Sonoma. The area is defined by a complex network of canyons and high ridges, including Walbridge Ridge to the west and the prominent Pritchett Peaks to the north. These landforms create a rugged topography where numerous tributaries like Rancheria Cr and Warm Springs Creek feed into the reservoir. Historical access is marked by long-established routes such as Stewarts Point Skaggs Springs Rd and Rockpile Rd, which trace the high ground above the water. Named landmarks like Eagle Rock and Bummer Peak provide fixed points for navigation in this wilderness. The map reveals the rural land use of the era, from the sprawling Warm Springs Ranch to the dense Redwood Canyon, illustrating the transition from ranching heritage to water resource management.
