1954 Map of Double Point

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape along the Pacific Ocean, where the rugged Marin County shoreline is defined by steep cliffs and freshwater basins. The topography transitions sharply from the shoreline at Stormy Stack and Double Point to high ridges like Firtop. A series of coastal lakes, including Wildcat Lake, Pelican Lake, and Bass Lake, sit perched just inland from the surf, while Alamere Falls marks a rare tidal waterfall where fresh water meets the sea. Internal access is noted via the Coast Trail and Highland Trail, reflecting the area's development for conservation and recreation. To the east, the drainage of Olema Creek runs parallel to the coastline, influenced by the underlying San Andreas Fault Zone, while the Lake Ranch and Glen Campground provide evidence of human presence within this protected environment.
