2012 Map of Drakes Bay OE S

About this map

Point Reyes Headlands and the prominent formation at Chimney Rock define the dramatic interface between the California coast and the Pacific Ocean in this 2012 survey. This map captures the extreme southwestern tip of the Marin County peninsula, where the land narrows to a sharp point. Access to this coastal extremity is provided by Sir Francis Drake Blvd, which terminates near the headlands. The sheet is primarily maritime in character, highlighting the geographic isolation and stark topography of this distinctive Pacific landmark before it drops off into the deep waters of the shelf.
