1954 Map of Double Point

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone carves through the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, creating a distinct geological trough where Olema Creek flows toward the north. This segment of the Marin coastline, mapped just as the Point Reyes National Seashore was being established, showcases a unique series of freshwater lakes perched just above the Pacific Ocean. Bodies of water like Pelican Lake, Bass Lake, and Wildcat Lake dot the bluffs, leading toward the dramatic drop of Alamere Falls at the shore.
