1955 Map of Ano Nuevo

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Punta del Año Nuevo and the adjacent Año Nuevo Island dominate this coastal survey, where an abandoned lighthouse stands as a sentinel over the shifting Sand Dunes. The map documents the rugged interface of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Cruz coastal range during the mid-1950s, with later 1968 revisions captured in purple. This landscape is a transition of protected lands, moving from the marine-focused Año Nuevo State Reserve into the dense timber of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Drainage patterns are finely detailed through Waddell Creek and the Arroyo de las Trancas, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Agua Puerca y las Trancas region. Evidence of early coastal settlement and navigation is preserved through labels for a small Cem and prominent offshore landmarks like Greyhound Rock and Pelican Rock.
