1962 Map of Cape San Martin

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this coastal landscape, where the steep mountains of the Los Padres National Forest meet the Pacific Ocean. Early 1960s land use is defined by a mix of wilderness recreation and military activity, with the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation occupying a significant portion of the interior high ground. Coastal life centers on small outposts like Gorda and the Pacific Valley Station, while the rugged interior is accessed via the Nacimiento Road and the Coast Ridge Fire Road. The map documents a transition in the local economy from isolated ranching, represented by San Miguelito Ranch and Krenke Ranch, toward forest management and public recreation at sites like Alder Creek Public Campground and the Salmon Creek Ranger Sta. High peaks such as Chalk Peak and Silver Peak overlook deep drainages including Davis Canyon and the Redwood Gulch.
