Santa Rosa is the county seat of Sonoma County, California, United States. Santa Rosa is the largest city in California's Wine Country and fifth largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area, after San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont.
The city is part of the North Bay region, which includes such cities as Sonoma, Healdsburg and Sebastopol. It lies along the U.S. Route 101 corridor, approximately 55 miles north of San Francisco, via the Golden Gate Bridge.
Santa Rosa lies on the Santa Rosa Plain; its eastern extremities stretch into the Valley of the Moon, and the Sonoma Creek watershed known as the Sonoma Valley, while its western edge lies in the Laguna de Santa Rosa catchment basin.
The city is in the watershed of Santa Rosa Creek, which rises on Hood Mountain and discharges to the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Tributary basins to Santa Rosa Creek lying significantly in the city are Brush Creek, Matanzas Creek, Colgan Creek and Piner Creek. Other water bodies within the city include Fountaingrove Lake, Lake Ralphine, and Santa Rosa Creek Reservoir. The prominent visual feature is Hood Mountain seen to the east. To the southeast, Taylor Mountain and Sonoma Mountain are readily visible from much of the city.
Sonoma Creek is a stream in Northern California. It is one of two principal drainages of Southern Sonoma County, California, with headwaters rising in the rugged hills of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park and discharge to San Pablo Bay, the northern arm of San Francisco Bay. The watershed drained by Sonoma Creek is roughly equivalent to the wine region of Sonoma Valley, an area of about 170 square miles. The State of California has designated the Sonoma Creek watershed as a Critical Coastal Water Resource. To the east of this generally rectangular watershed is the Napa River watershed, and to the west are the Petaluma River and Tolay Creek watersheds.
The North Bay is a subregion of the San Francisco Bay Area, in California, USA. It is by far the least populous and least urbanized part of the Bay Area. It consists of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties. It is, unusually for a major metropolitan area, still highly agricultural in character. The internationally famous California wine country (primarily consisting of growing areas in Sonoma County and the Napa Valley) is located in the North Bay. The region's largest city, Santa Rosa, is situated on the Santa Rosa Plain in the heart of Sonoma County. Historically, the area is also known for dairy farming. Although the growth of the wine industry has slowly edged out some of the dairy industry, it is still common to see cows grazing on the hillsides of Sonoma County in particular. Solano County is the notable exception to this pattern, with exurban development occurring at a rapid pace on former pastureland surrounding Vacaville and Fairfield. The growth of these two cities is largely a function of their proximity to both San Francisco and Sacramento, although some North Bay residents commute all the way to San Mateo or Santa Clara counties.
Hood Mountain is a mountain near the southeastern edge of Santa Rosa, California at the northeast of the Sonoma Valley that attains a height of 2,730 feet (832 meters) above mean sea level. Most of the drainage from Hood Mountain contributes to the headwaters of Sonoma Creek. A prominent feature of Hood Mountain is the extensive rock face visible on the upper half of the mountain as viewed from State Route 12. The habitats on Hood Mountain include mixed oak forest, pygmy forest, chaparral and riparian zones. In prehistoric times the slopes of Hood Mountain were inhabited by a division of the Yuki tribe. Most of Hood Mountain is within the Mount Hood Regional Park maintained by Sonoma County.
Santa Rosa can be seen as divided into four quadrants: Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. Highway 101 runs roughly north and south through the city, and divides it into east and west sides. State Highway 12 runs roughly east and west, and divides the city into north and south sides.
