About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore defines the northern coastline of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the vast Pacific Ocean. This specific location focuses on the extreme southwestern tip of the peninsula, centered on the prominent landform of Point Reyes. Access to this remote maritime environment is indicated by Lighthouse Road and the Point Reyes Lighthouse Trl, which lead toward the rugged cliffs overlooking Sea Lion Cove. The map illustrates the minimal human footprint in this protected area, emphasizing the topography and the stark transition from the high coastal bluffs to the sea. It is a critical document for understanding the modern boundary between the federally protected headlands and the surrounding marine environment.
