2018 Map of Drakes Bay

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape, where the Pacific Ocean meets a complex network of estuarine waters. The terrain is defined by the prominent Inverness Ridge to the east and the sweeping arcs of Point Reyes Beach to the west. Between these features, the map reveals the intricate fingers of Drakes Bay, including Schooner Bay, Home Bay, and Barries Bay. This coastal geography is characterized by sand spits and lagoons, most notably the long Limantour Spit and the inland Abbotts Lagoon. Transportation through this protected area follows historic routes like Sir Francis Drake Blvd and Pierce Point Rd, while drainage is managed by small coastal streams such as Home Ranch Cr and Glenbrook Cr.
