1954 Map of Inverness

About this map

Tomales Bay and the striking depression of the San Andreas Fault Zone anchor this mid-century portrait of coastal Marin County. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of Inverness Ridge, where peaks like Point Reyes Hill and Mt Wittenburg overlook a mosaic of dairy operations and small settlements. The map documents the transition of the regional economy, showing a Dismantled Railroad tracing the eastern shore of the bay while the Sir Francis Drake Highway serves as the primary artery through Olema and Inverness.
