About this map

Montana de Oro State Park dominates the southern coastal landscape of this 2021 survey, where the Pacific Ocean meets a network of peaks and canyons. The topographical detail reveals a stark contrast between the low-lying wetlands of Shark Inlet and the sharp elevations of Hollister Peak and Valencia Peak. Coastal settlements such as Baywood Park and Cuesta-by-the-Sea are clearly delineated along the eastern edge of the bay, showing their relation to the surrounding marshlands and the Elfin Forest Trl.

Further inland, the map captures the transition to the Irish Hills and the winding course of Chorro Cr. Genealogical and local history interest is found in the location of the Quintana Cem and the Los Osos Valley Memorial Park. This contemporary study provides a precise view of modern land use, from the residential grids of Los Osos to the extensive trail systems like the Oats Peak Trl Trl and Hazard Peak Trl Trl that traverse the coastal ridges.
