2018 Map of Drakes Bay OE W

About this map

Point Reyes National Seashore defines the narrow eastern margin of this coastal chart, where the land meets the vast Pacific Ocean. This 2018 survey focuses primarily on the maritime environment off the coast of Marin County, providing a high-resolution look at the shoreline at Point Reyes Beach. The topography here is limited to the immediate beach and the rising coastal bluffs that characterize this protected stretch of the California coast. Because the map covers the transition from open sea to the national seashore, it provides a precise modern record of the shoreline's position relative to the bathymetric boundary, useful for researchers tracking coastal erosion and the management of these federal parklands.
