2022 Map of Montara Mountain

About this map

Sweeney Ridge and the Santa Cruz Mountains form a rugged spine across this portion of the San Francisco Peninsula, creating a sharp divide between the coastal communities of Pacifica and the developed bayside corridor. The map reveals the contrast between the dense residential grids of Millbrae and Burlingame near San Francisco International Airport and the preserved wild lands of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Significant water management features like San Andreas Lake and Stone Dam Reservoir sit high in the interior ridges, while the western edge is defined by the shifting Pacific coastline from Mori Point south to the protected waters of Half Moon Bay. This survey captures the modern infrastructure of Skyline Blvd and El Camino Real as they navigate the complex topography of the Peninsula.
