2012 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey and its historic waterfront define the northeastern coastline of this peninsula study, where the industrial legacy of Cannery Row meets active maritime hubs like Fishermans Wharf and the Coast Guard Pier. The urban layout transitions from the dense grids of Pacific Grove to the winding residential ways of Del Monte Forest and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Inland, the landscape is marked by diverse topography ranging from Huckleberry Hill to the banks of the Carmel River. Genealogists will find significant detail in the cluster of burial grounds near El Estero, including San Carlos Cem and Saint Johns Cem. Along the southern coast, the map documents the intricate rocky shoreline of the Point Lobos area, featuring landmarks such as Whalers Cove and China Cove, while the interior shows the developed footprint of the California Division of Forestry and various golf courses including The Links at Spanish Bay.
