1956 Map of Lopez Point

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Lucia and the surrounding Big Sur coast appear in this survey, showcasing a landscape defined by deep canyons and the precipitous meeting of the Santa Lucia Range with the Pacific Ocean. The map documents early-to-mid 20th-century coastal life before modern expansion, featuring small encampments such as Lower Bee Camp and Trail Spring Camp tucked into the interior highlands. Geologically and ecologically significant markers include the Slates Hot Springs and the protected waters of the California Sea Otter State Game Refuge. Historical industry is hinted at by the presence of Rockland Landing (Aban'd) and Limekiln Creek, where maritime transport once served the region's early resources. The mapping of Devils Canyon and Hare Canyon reflects the complex drainage patterns within the Los Padres National Forest and the Ventana Wilderness Area.
