1955 Map of Ano Nuevo

About this map

Punta del Año Nuevo defines this coastal landscape where the Santa Cruz and San Mateo county lines meet. The 1950s environment is characterized by a mix of protected wildlands and early industrial remnants, including the abandoned lighthouse on Año Nuevo Island. Evidence of the region’s timber and ranching history is found in labels for a Sawmill and the settlement at Graves, while the rugged coast is marked by Sand Dunes and rocky outcrops like Greyhound Rock. Inland, the map documents the southwestern reaches of Big Basin Redwoods State Park and the drainage of Waddell Creek. The 1968 purple revisions indicate evolving road networks and parking areas, reflecting the area's transition into a more accessible public State Reserve. Local genealogy and land use are further marked by VABM Cem 876 and the winding course of Last Chance Road.
