1941 Map of Ano Nuevo Pt.

About this map

Coastal outposts and early cattle ranches define this stretch of the Pacific coastline just before the United States entered World War II. The Punta de Año Nuevo headland dominates the geography, supported by the critical maritime safety markers at Pigeon Point LH and the remote Año Nuevo LH on Año Nuevo Island. Inland, the map reveals a landscape of rugged canyons and timbered hills, where Notley Junction and Whitehouse Camp represent the era's transition from early pioneer settlement to established rural industry. The proximity of Coastways Ranch and Rancho Del Oso to the San Mateo and Santa Cruz county line highlights the agricultural heritage of the Santa Cruz Mountains' western slopes. Tracing the courses of Butano Creek and Waddell Creek illustrates the natural drainage patterns that dictated the placement of early routes like Pescadero Creek Rd and Basin Road.
