About this map

Slates Hot Springs sits at the edge of the Monterey County coast, where the steep terrain of the Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal survey highlights the precarious geography of the Big Sur region, defined by deep drainage basins like Hot Springs Canyon and Dolan Canyon. The settlement here is deeply tied to the natural thermal activity of the land, with Dolan Rd providing the primary land-based access along the rugged shoreline. This 2012 view illustrates the intersection of narrow canyons and the vast maritime horizon, recording the footprint of a isolated coastal community before the landscape was further altered by more recent natural events common to this volatile stretch of California coastline.
