1954 Map of Double Point

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore dominates this coastal survey, where the Pacific shoreline meets the dramatic geological line of the San Andreas Rift Zone. The landscape is defined by a series of coastal freshwater bodies, including Wildcat Lake, Ocean Lake, and Pelican Lake, which sit perched above the surf. A notable hydrological feature is Alamere Falls, where Alamere Creek cascades directly toward the Wildcat Beach. The map also traces the Coast Trail and Highland Trail, which provided access to remote locations like Lake Ranch and Glen Campground before the mid-1970s. This survey records the transition of the Punta De Los Reyes (Sobrante) land grant into a protected national preserve, capturing the interaction between historic ranching infrastructure and the emerging park system.
