1921 Map of Cape San Martin

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this coastal survey, where the steep terrain of the Big Sur coast met early twentieth-century ranching and mining. Coastal life centered around isolated outposts like Gorda PO and Plaskett, connected by the narrow Coast Trail before the modern highway era. The map documents a transition from pioneer homesteads to larger landholdings, evidenced by the W.R.Hearst Foremans Headquarters in the south and family-held locations like the Old Cruikshank Ranch and Ray Evans Ranch.
