About this map

The coastal settlement of Lucia sits along the steep Pacific cliffs, marking a focal point of this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic transition from the Pacific Ocean to high elevations like Mining Ridge and Twin Peak. The shoreline is dotted with significant offshore landmarks, including Lopez Rock, Harlan Rock, and Dolan Rock, while the rugged coast is cut by steep drainages such as Devils Canyon and Hare Canyon.

A cluster of remote campsites and heritage locations reveals the area's use for recreation and small-scale industry. Rockland Landing and Limekiln Beach Redwoods Campground highlight the history of the south-coast timber and lime trade near the mouth of Limekiln Cr. Moving inland, the map traces the forks of Big Cr and identifies primitive sites like Lower Bee Camp and Trail Spring Camp, reflecting the secluded nature of the Santa Lucia Range.
