About this map

Cayucos sits along the curve of Estero Bay, serving as the coastal focal point where several mountain-drained waterways meet the Pacific Ocean. This 2015 topography reveals a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and modern water management, notably the Whale Rock Reservoir situated just inland. The map details a transition from the sandy expanse of Cayucos Beach to the steep canyons of the Santa Lucia Range, carved by Cottontail Creek, Cayucos Creek, and Little Cayucos Creek.

Rural road networks such as Villa Creek Rd and San Geronimo Rd wind through the township and range divisions of t28s r10e and t28s r9e. The settlement itself shows a dense grid of local streets, including Cass Ave and Ocean Blvd, illustrating the residential development concentrated along the shoreline compared to the large, open parcels of the rugged interior. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation contours as they existed in the mid-2010s.
