1955 Map of Franklin Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Punta Del Ano Nuevo defines the rugged coastline of southern San Mateo County in the mid-1950s, where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This survey captures a transitional coastal landscape of Sand Dunes and established timberlands, notably within Butano State Park and Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Early industrial and educational markers are visible, including a Quarry near Whitehouse Creek, a coastal Oil Well, and the Pescadero High Sch in the northern portion of the sheet. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Chalk Mtn and Butano Ridge, drained by a network of steep canyons including Gazos Creek and Ano Nuevo Creek. The mapping also identifies remote outposts like the Sandy Point Guard Station and established recreation sites at Butano Park, reflecting the era's balance of resource extraction and early conservation efforts.
