About this map

The Presidio of Monterey and the bustling grid of Monterey anchor the northern coastline of this 1948 survey, showing the Monterey Peninsula just after World War II. The landscape is defined by the winding Seventeen Mile Drive, which skirts the rocky shoreline from Spanish Bay past Point Joe to the famous fairways of Cypress Point Golf Course. To the south, the village of Carmel By The Sea sits tucked against Carmel Bay, with the historic San Carlos Borromeo Mission and nearby Mission Ranch marking the transition into the Carmel River valley.
