1961 Map of Half Moon Bay

About this map

Half Moon Bay sits at the center of this coastal landscape, serving as a hub for the various beach communities lining the Pacific Ocean shoreline. The town's grid is dense with landmarks like the Hatch Sch, a High Sch, and the IOOF Cem, while the surrounding hills are divided by deep canyons like Frenchmans Creek and Pilarcitos Creek. The transition from the sea to the uplands is marked by the Old Railroad Grade, tracing a path between the shore and the steep slopes of the Corral de Tierra.
