The Pacific Ocean coastline meets the steep western slopes of the Santa Lucia Range in this detailed 2021 topographic record. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the high ridges to the sea, where narrow coastal benches support the small settlements of Gorda, Plaskett, and Cape San Martin. This area is dominated by the Los Padres National Forest, with terrain rising sharply from coastal landmarks like Sand Dollar Beach and Plaskett Rock to high points such as Chalk Peak and Willow Peak.
