1965 Map of Cayucos

About this map

Cayucos sits prominently on the shoreline of Estero Bay, serving as the primary coastal settlement in this 1960s-era survey. The map details a landscape where the Pacific coastline meets the southern reaches of the San Geronimo region, marked by numerous named drainages including Villa Creek and Cayucos Creek. Along the shore, landmarks such as Point Estero and Cayucos Point define the rugged edge of the Pacific Ocean, while offshore features like Black Rock and Whale Rock provide essential context for coastal geography. Inland, the presence of the Whale Rock Reservoir and a Fish Hatchery indicates the importance of water management in this part of San Luis Obispo County. For those researching local heritage, the Cayucos-Morro Bay District Cem and the settlement of Filipponi offer specific points of interest within the coastal hills.
