1956 Map of Big Sur

About this map

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and Andrew Molera State Park anchor this coastal survey, where the steep canyons of the Santa Lucia Range meet the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is defined by the sharp vertical rise of Pfeiffer Ridge and peaks like Pico Blanco, which overlooks a network of interior camps including Pico Blanco Boy Scout Camp and Jackson Camp. The winding Coast Road provides access to the shoreline, passing the distinctive Molera Rocks and the river mouth at Big Sur.
