1953 Map of Drakes Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Point Reyes defines this peninsula where the Pacific Ocean meets the complex fingers of Drakes Estero. This 1953 survey, with revisions from 1971, documents a transition from an active ranching landscape to the established Point Reyes National Seashore. The coastal terrain is marked by legacy agricultural operations, including H Ranch, M Ranch, and Home Ranch, alongside vanished maritime infrastructure like the Schooner Ldg (Site) and a Blacksmith Shop (Site) on the road to the coast.
