About this map

Jamesburg and the surrounding ranchlands of the Santa Lucia Range define this 1917 survey of Monterey County. The landscape is marked by historic land grants like Los Laureles and Los Tularcitos, where small community centers such as Tularcitos School and Tassajara School served isolated mountain families. The Carmel River and its many tributaries, including Tularcitos Creek and Cachagua Creek, carve through the complex system of ridges and canyons that dominate the terrain.

Local landmarks such as the Casa Verde Gun Club and Camp Stephani suggest the area's early 20th-century character as a destination for outdoor recreation and seasonal retreat. High peaks like Uncle Sam Mtn and Ventana Double Cone anchor the southern portion of the map within the Los Padres National Forest, providing a detailed look at the geography before modern development reached these interior valleys.
