1956 Map of Big Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and the surrounding reaches of the Los Padres National Forest define this mid-century coastal landscape. The map details the transition from the Pacific Ocean shoreline, including The California Sea Otter State Game Refuge, into the steep drainages of the Little Sur River and Big Sur River. Settlement is sparse, represented by the coastal village of Big Sur and isolated outposts like Comings Cabin or Pico Blanco Boy Scout Camp.
