1951 Map of Cayucos

About this map

The central California coast unfolds from the rugged San Geronimo bluffs to the sheltered waters of Morro Bay. This mid-century view captures a period of coastal development where small resort communities and agricultural valleys met. The iconic Morro Rock stands at the harbor entrance, connected to the mainland by a breakwater, while the town of Morro Bay shows its grid expanding eastward toward Chorro Creek. Further south, the settlements of Baywood Park and Cuesta-By-The-Sea mark the quiet edge of the marshlands.
