The Pacific Ocean occupies the vast majority of this coastal offshore survey, which centers on the maritime boundary of Monterey Co California. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from 2012 to 2015, this chart documents the nautical approach to the Big Sur coast. The sheet is dominated by the bathymetry and coordinate grids of the open sea, providing a precise record of the offshore environment and the state's coastal limits at this specific moment in the mid-2010s. It serves as a spatial reference for the waters just west of the Santa Lucia Range, where the land and sea meet along the steep Monterey County shoreline.
