1953 Map of Drakes Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Point Reyes defines this mid-century landscape of coastal ranching and maritime navigation. The peninsula is dotted with lettered agricultural outposts such as H Ranch, M Ranch, and D Ranch, connected by the Sir Francis Drake Highway. These operations utilized the natural pastures of Punta de los Reyes (Sobrante) and the Sand Dunes long before the area was preserved as a national seashore. Along the jagged shoreline, the Coast Guard Reservation and a Life Boat Sta near Chimney Rock highlight the region's historical importance to Pacific shipping safety.
