2018 Map of Lopez Point OE W

About this map

Slates Hot Springs clings to the dramatic coastline where the Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal survey highlights a sharp vertical geography, defined by the steep descent of Dolan Ridge and the deep incisions of Hot Springs Canyon and Dolan Canyon. The settlement at the northern edge is localized near the drainage of Lime Cr, a small but significant water source in this otherwise maritime-dominated landscape. Much of the map's area covers the open sea, emphasizing the isolation of this narrow strip of the Monterey County coast where the land is squeezed between high ridges and the water.
