1950 Map of Cape Vizcaino

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Cape Vizcaino anchors this coastal survey, where the Mendocino shoreline meets the steep, timbered ridges of the Northern California coast. Small coastal settlements such as Rockport, Westport, and Hardy are connected by the winding path of State Highway 1, illustrating the early mid-century transportation network that served these isolated communities. Along the coast, numerous landmarks like Abalone Point and Sea Lion Rock define the maritime edge, while inland, a series of parallel ridges including Cottoneva Ridge and Packard Ridge separate the many westward-flowing drainages. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific social centers like the Ft Bragg Grange and a Cemetery near Union Landing. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the broad delta-like drainage of the Tenmile River and the small hamlet of Inglenook, showing the transition from steep bluffs to more open coastal terrace land.
