2018 Map of Drakes Bay OE S

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore is the primary terrestrial feature on this coastal survey, where the rugged Marin County peninsula terminates at Chimney Rock. This particular quadrangle focuses on the narrow southern tip of the headland, providing a detailed look at the interface between the rocky coastline and the Pacific Ocean. Access to this secluded environment is traced via Sir Francis Drake Blvd and Chimney Rock Rd, which lead directly to the bluffs overlooking the waters. The map effectively illustrates the protection of Drakes Bay, showing how the landform creates a sheltered cove against the open sea. Given the limited development within the national seashore, the contours and precise shoreline of the peninsula represent the defining characteristics of this 2018 coastal record.
