About this map

The coastal interface of Monterey Bay and the mouth of the Salinas River anchor this topographic survey of the Monterey coastline. The transition from the sandy shoreline of Sand City and Marina into the undulating terrain of the interior is marked by several named ridges and elevations, including Mulligan Hill, Artillery Hill, and Welch Ridge. The landscape reflects a mix of civic expansion and dedicated federal land use, notably the campus of California State Univ-Monterey Bay and the California Central Coast Veterans Cem.

Transportation corridors like Del Monte Blvd and Reservation Rd serve the northern reaches of Seaside, while the small settlements of Nashua and Neponset represent the agricultural and rail-connected history of the Salinas Valley's edge. The presence of the Marina Municipal Airport and the expansive Parker Flats suggests the area's continued evolution from its early maritime and ranching roots toward its modern suburban and educational character.
