1956 Map of Big Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Pico Blanco dominates the skyline in this mid-century survey of the Monterey coast, serving as a focal point for the complex drainage systems of the Little Sur River and the Big Sur River. The landscape is a mix of protected wildlands and remote outposts, including Pico Blanco Boy Scout Camp and Jackson Camp along the river forks. Coastal access is defined by the winding path of the Old Coast Road and the Sierra Grade, which provided essential transit before the modern highway system fully reshaped the region's accessibility.
