1954 Map of Inverness
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The San Andreas Fault carves a striking northwest-southeast diagonal through this coastal landscape, creating the distinct linear valley that holds Tomales Bay and Olema Creek. Along the bay's western shore, the community of Inverness is surrounded by the wooded heights of Tomales Ridge and landmarks like Mt Vision. To the east, the drainage of Lagunitas Creek meets the bay near Inverness Park and Point Reyes Station, where a dismantled railroad line indicates the area's changing transportation network. Historical land divisions like Nicasio (Frink and Reynolds) and Point Reyes (Sobrante) reflect the region's ranching heritage. Local life is documented through features such as the West Marin Sch, the Olema Cem near Olema, and the Yacht Club on the bay. Coastal recreation and industry are represented by Tomales Bay State Park and marked Oyster Beds.
