About this map

Malibu’s coastal canyons and high ridges appear here during a period of isolated ranching and early motoring before the mid-century development boom. The landscape is defined by the Santa Monica Mountains and a series of steep drainages, including Arroyo Sequit and Trancas Canyon, that descend to the Pacific Ocean. Settlement patterns are dominated by large landholdings and private estates, such as the Rindge Ranch and Kincaid Ranch, alongside smaller mountain homesteads like the Smiley Place. The coastal edge shows the early footprint of the State Highway skirting the base of Steep Hill and passing the Malibu Trading Sta. Further inland, the Decker Sch and Saddle Rock Lodge represent the thin social infrastructure of the time, connected by winding routes like Decker Road and Latigo Canyon Road.
