About this map

Butano Park and the rugged coastal interface of San Mateo County define this 2012 survey. The landscape is characterized by a series of deep canyons and ridges, where Butano Cr and its various forks flow toward the Pacific Ocean. A significant portion of the interior is dedicated to recreation and preservation, with Big Basin Redwoods State Park encompassing much of the eastern terrain. Numerous campgrounds and landmarks like Whitehouse Camp and Chalks Lookout suggest a long-standing history of forestry and outdoor access.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a network of fire roads and local routes, including Cloverdale Rd and the Butano Fire Trl. Near the shoreline, Gazos Creek Coastal Access and the prominent headland at Franklin Point provide focal points for the coastal geography. Notable water features like Butano Falls and Berry Creek Falls highlight the dramatic elevation changes that occur within a short distance of the sea.
