1943 Map of Cayucos

About this map

Cayucos and the surrounding coastline of Estero Bay appear here in the early 1940s, just before the significant post-war development of the Central Coast. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Pacific Ocean to the ridges of the Santa Lucia Range, with numerous small schoolhouses like Someo Sch and Central Sch serving the rural ranching and dairy communities of the era. The mapping of Morro Bay captures the town and its iconic Morro Rock before modern harbor modifications changed the local shoreline.
