About this map

Point Reyes serves as the lone terrestrial anchor on this coastal chart, marking a sharp geological boundary against the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Situated in Marin County, this survey focuses primarily on the maritime environment off the California coast, where the land just begins to emerge at the southeastern corner. The map captures the shoreline's transition from open sea to the rugged edge of the peninsula, providing a precise spatial record of the coastal interface as it existed in the early twenty-first century. For those studying the geography of this protected shoreline, the map defines the exact maritime approaches and the abrupt rise of the coastal terrain at this iconic landform.
