About this map

Pacifica and the coastal communities of Pedro Valley and Moss Beach anchor this San Mateo County coastline, where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling protected lands of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which encompasses prominent coastal peaks like San Pedro Mtn and Montara Mtn. This modern survey illustrates the complex topography of the Devils Slide area and the transition from rugged headlands to the residential street grids found in Moss Beach.

Coastal navigation and infrastructure are represented by Point Montara and the presence of Half Moon Bay Airport at the southern edge of the sheet. Inland, a network of recreational paths including the Farallone Trail and Corona Pedro Trail weave through the high ridges. The map also documents local drainages such as San Vicente Cr and Martini Cr, which flow toward the numerous coves and beaches that define this stretch of the California coast.
