About this map

Coastal industry and mountain topography meet on this coastline where the Cement Plant and its associated Conveyor system dominate the seaside at Davenport. The landscape is defined by the steep ascent from the Pacific Ocean toward Ben Lomond Mountain, marked by deep ravines like Deadman Gulch and San Vicente Creek. While the coastal terrace supports agricultural and industrial activity near Davenport Landing, the higher elevations are preserved within Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.

Evidence of the area's resource-driven history is visible at the Big Creek Powerhouse (Site) and numerous quarries scattered throughout the San Vicente region. The settlement of Bonny Doon sits atop the ridge, served by the winding Empire Grade and Bonny Doon Rd. The map also captures specialized land uses such as the Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve and the small Pacific Sch, showing the balance between conservation and local community development in the 1990s.
