Description: West Marin is the rural, isolated half of Marin County, that spectacular slice of California suburbia on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is an amazing landscape of Pacific beaches & coves, coastal hills & redwood groves, dairy farms & cattle ranches. The majority of the land is public space, including Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Included here is a most excellent waterproof map of Point Reyes National Seashore, the 70,000-acre park which occupies a triangular shaped peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean an hour north of San Francisco. Features a road & trail map for the park, as well as adjacent parks (Tomales Bay State Park, Samuel P. Taylor State Park and a number of Open Space Preserves), and the nearby communities of Bolinas & Stinson Beach (twin beach towns that hold a tug of war across the body of water that separates the two municipalities on the 4th of July), Olema (a crossroads that marks one of the entrances to the park), Point Reyes Station (the commercial hub for West Marin), Inverness (a popular place for weekend visitors to Point Reyes), Marshall (a crossroads on Tomales Bay) and Tomales (several miles inland from its namesake bay), on one side, along with a a guide to the park and more detailed map of Point Reyes Station, Sam Taylor State Park and the Bear Valley area on the other side (from Map Adventures, 2009); a foldout brochure/map for West Marin (an ill-defined region that generally refers to the area west of a line drawn from Muir Beach to Nicasio to Petaluma), the sparsely populated rural half of the County, featuring a map & partial business directory on one side, along with a quick guide on the other side (from the West Marin Chamber of Commerce, 1988); an official map & guide for Samuel P. Taylor State Park, a 2,700-acre paradise of redwood forest & grassland, located on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, several miles inland from Olema (from California State Parks, 1998); and an excellent booklet put out by the National Park Service, an official nature guide entitled “The Woodpecker Trail.” The 28-page guide contains handy advice on avoiding certain hazards (poison oak, stinging nettles, deer ticks), as well as information on some of the park’s endemic flora & fauna (including acorn woodpeckers, red-tailed hawks, coyotes, gophers, wood rats, Pacific wrens, Douglas fir, California laurel, buckeye) (from the US Department of the Interior/NPS, 2012).
