1953 Map of Drakes Bay

About this map

Point Reyes anchors this mid-century coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of the Pacific Ocean meets a landscape defined by large ranching tracts. The interior is marked by alphabetically designated properties such as H Ranch, M Ranch, and D Ranch, alongside the centrally located Home Ranch, reflecting a long-standing pattern of maritime dairy and cattle production. Transport follows the path of the Sir Francis Drake Highway, which winds past the Point Reyes Sch and several radio facilities, including a Radio Relay Sta and a Radio Tower.
