1974 Map of Monterey

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Santa Lucia Range peaks tower over the Central Coast in this mid-1970s survey, documenting the transition from the marine environments of Monterey Bay to the agricultural heartland of the Central Valley. The map traces the historical path of the Spanish era through the preservation of the San Carlos Borromeo Mission and the San Juan Bautista Mission. Coastal landmarks like the Point Sur Lighthouse and the Presidio of Monterey stand as sentinels along the Pacific, while the interior valleys reveal a landscape defined by the Salinas River and the intensive rail network of the Southern Pacific railroad.
