1969 Map of Cape Mendocino

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The westernmost point of California at Cape Mendocino is meticulously detailed in this survey, showcasing the maritime hazards and coastal infrastructure of the late 1960s. The coastline is dominated by the U.S. Coast Guard Reservation and the historic Cape Mendocino Lighthouse, which guarded a treacherous stretch of the Pacific Ocean including Blunts Reef and The Great Break. Inland, the landscape rises sharply toward Cape Ridge, where small settlements and rural landmarks like Ocean House and Cape Ranch are situated along the Petrolia 8 Mi. Road.
