Area map of Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California. The park is long and narrow, running along the state coast and highlighted in green. Two areas are outlined by purple boxes. Roads and highways are represented by gray lines.

Extended Description

Golden Gate stretches from the Phleger Estate along Interstate Highway 280 in the south all the way up to Tomales Bay along State Highway 1 in the north. To the left of the Phleger Estate is the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in the Pacific Ocean.

The first purple-outlined area is just above the Phleger Estate. Within it are the San Francisco Peninsula Watershed, Ranco Corral de Tierra, Sweeney Ridge, Mori Point, Milagra Ridge, Fort Funston, Ocean Beach, Cliff House, Presidio, Fort Point, Marin Headlands, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.

Across the Golden Gate Bridge is the second purple-outlined area. Within it are Angel Island State Park, Muir Beach, Mount Tamalpais State Park, Stinson Beach, and Muir Woods. To the right of the outlined area and along Interstate Highway 580 is Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park. To the left of the outlined area is Bolinas Lagoon. Purple text in both purple rectangles read, “See other side for detail.”

Above the outlined area is the Marin Municipal Water District, Olema Valley, Samuel P. Taylor State Park, the Point Reyes National Seashore, and Tomales Bay. Just off the coast is the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary in the Pacific Ocean.

Halfway down the map in the Pacific Ocean is the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge.
