1948 Map of Cape San Martin

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this coastline, where the land drops precipitously into the Pacific. In the late 1940s, this remote stretch of the Big Sur coast was defined by scattered outposts like Pacific Valley and Gorda, connected by a winding road along the cliffs. The presence of the Pacific Valley Sch and Spring School indicates the small, self-sufficient communities that persisted in these isolated canyons.
