About this map

Devils Slide dominates the coastline on this San Mateo County sheet, where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This coastal corridor is defined by the narrow strip of development between the steep slopes of San Pedro Mountain and the sea. The map documents the residential grids of coastal communities including Montara, Moss Beach, and Seal Cove, each tucked along the shoreline north of the Half Moon Bay Airport.

Transport and topography are the primary themes here, from the winding path of State Route 1 to the small drainages of Martini Cr and San Pedro Cr. The northern end of the map highlights the geological transition from the inland San Pedro Valley to the rocky outcrops of San Pedro Rock and Point San Pedro. This 2012 update provides a precise record of the road networks and shoreline features just before significant transit changes transformed the local transit landscape.
