1921 Map of Cape San Martin

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Mining and ranching activity defines this stretch of the Santa Lucia Range along the Pacific coast during the early twentieth century. The map details a landscape of high ridges and deep canyons within the Santa Barbara National Forest, where small-scale operations like the Melville Mine, Buolimo Mine, and Gorda Mine sought mineral wealth in the mountains overlooking Cape San Martin. These industrial sites are interspersed with pioneer holdings such as the Old Cruikshank Ranch and Krenkel's Ranch, illustrating the remote settlement patterns of the Big Sur region before modern accessibility.
