About this map

Monterey and its surrounding coastal communities are meticulously documented in this 2021 study, highlighting the dense urban core and the famous waterfront of Cannery Row. The transition from the industrial legacy of the bayfront to the prestigious academic and military institutions like the Naval Postgraduate School and the Defense Language Institute defines the eastern shoreline. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the planned communities and world-renowned coastline of Del Monte Forest and Pebble Beach, where Cypress Point and Stillwater Cove mark the rugged Pacific edge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several major burial grounds, including El-Encinal Cem and San Carlos Cem, situated near the Monterey Peninsula College. The map also captures the ecological and topographical nuances of the region, from the drainage of Sawmill Gulch to the mouth of the Carmel River, providing a clear record of modern property boundaries and infrastructure in Carmel-by-the-Sea and the Carmel Highlands.
