1949 Map of Cape San Martin

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this coastal landscape, where steep mountains drop directly into the Pacific Ocean. This 1940s survey reveals a sparsely settled frontier along the Central Coast, anchored by small outposts like Plaskett and Gorda. The presence of the Pacific Valley Sch suggests a small, permanent community of families working the land or managing local resources before mid-century development. Much of the interior is defined by the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation and the Los Padres National Forest, illustrating the early 20th-century transition of this terrain into federal management for both conservation and defense.
