1954 Map of Double Point

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore defines this coastal landscape along the Pacific Ocean, where the rugged interface of land and sea is marked by prominent headlands like Double Point and Abalone Point. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map illustrates the coastal shelf of Punta De Los Reyes (Sobrante) before the area's full transition into a federal preserve. A distinct network of coastal routes including Coast Trail, Sky Trail, and Highland Trail connects remote interior features like the Glen Campground to the shoreline. The geography is notably characterized by several freshwater bodies perched near the salt spray, including Wildcat Lake, Ocean Lake, and Pelican Lake, with the dramatic Alamere Falls providing a rare instance of a coastal waterfall. Near the eastern edge, Lake Ranch and the headwaters of Olema Creek indicate the agricultural and drainage patterns of the Marin interior.
