1941 Map of Lucia

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Santa Lucia Range peaks and steep coastal canyons dominate this 1941 survey, showing a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and coastal outposts. The interior is largely inaccessible except by routes like the Zigzag Trail, connecting the remote Tassajara Hot Springs and Higgins Cabin to the broader watershed of the South Fork Sur River. Along the shore, a series of family-named settlements including Dolan, Gamboa, Borondas, and Lucia are positioned near landings and creek mouths. These small clusters, supported by the Seaview School and Redwood School, represent a high-relief maritime ranching and homesteading culture before modern infrastructure fully unified the coastline. The presence of a Military Reservation near Limekiln Creek and the southern Rockland Landing hints at the strategic importance of this coastline just as the United States entered World War II.
