1921 Map of Lucia

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Tassajara Hot Springs and Slates Hot Springs serve as early focal points for settlement along the dramatic coastline of the Santa Lucia Range. Based on a 1917 survey by R.B. Marshall and Geo. R. Davis, this map illustrates a period when access to the Big Sur coast was primarily defined by treacherous overland trails and maritime landings. Coastal activity is centered around remote points like Anderson Landing and Rockland Landing, which facilitated the transport of goods before the completion of modern highways. Inland, the landscape is dotted with isolated homesteads and family names such as Sobranes, Dolan, and Twitchells. The presence of the Redwood School near Vicente Creek suggests a small but established community of ranching families and loggers working the steep canyons. Deep drainages like Big Sur River and Anderson Canyon carve through the ridge system, connecting high-elevation grazing areas like Horse Pasture to the Pacific Ocean.
