1943 Map of Halfmoon Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The coastal fishing and farming culture of mid-century San Mateo County is recorded here just before the era of significant suburban expansion. Halfmoon Bay serves as the primary coastal hub, while the interior is defined by agricultural and ranching tracts such as Corte Madera Ranch. The mapping shows a distinct network of local education through rural schoolhouses like Miramar Sch, Pilarcitos Sch, and Purisima Sch, which served the scattered families living along the coastal bluffs and inland canyons. Along the ridgeline, Skyline Boulevard traces the spine of the Santa Cruz Mountains, passing landmarks like the Pulgas Water Temple near Crystal Springs Lake. Small, established communities like Pescadero and La Honda are shown in their early configurations, oriented toward the many creeks—including Pescadero Creek and Tunitas Creek—that drain from the high ridges of Sierra Morena down to the Pacific Ocean.
