2015 Map of Drakes Bay OE W

About this map

Pacific Ocean waters dominate this coastal survey, where the maritime boundary of Marin County extends deep into the sea. The map centers on the shoreline of the Point Reyes National Seashore, showing the transition from open water to the narrow coastal strip of Point Reyes Beach. This specific quadrangle captures the most westward reaches of the peninsula, focusing on the interface between the protected federal lands and the vast marine environment. The topography is largely concentrated in the lower right corner, where the land rises from the surf into the designated national park, providing a specialized look at the preservation of the California coastline and its offshore boundaries in the early twenty-first century.
