1951 Map of Cape Mendocino

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Cape Mendocino stands as the westernmost point of California, where the land drops sharply into the Pacific Ocean amid a landscape of complex ridges and coastal gulches. This survey, mapped by the Army Map Service, captures the isolated character of the Lost Coast area before extensive modern development. Small settlements like Capetown and Petrolia serve as the primary hubs for a ranching economy, evidenced by landmarks such as Bonanza Ranch and Green Pond Ranch.
