About this map

Moss Landing and the surrounding marshlands of Monterey County are defined by a complex network of waterways where the Old Salinas River and Elkhorn Slough meet the Pacific. This 2015 survey reveals the intricate hydrological patterns of the Pajaro Valley, illustrating how the landscape is segmented by numerous tidal channels including Bennett Slough, Moro Cojo Slough, and Tembladero Slough. The coastal geography is further marked by Pauls Island and the protective reaches of Jetty Beach and Island Beach.

Further inland, the settlement of Castroville serves as a primary hub, with its grid of streets such as Merritt St and Speegle St clearly delineated. For those researching local heritage, the Castroville Moss Landing Cemetery is a significant landmark situated near the winding path of Potrero Rd. The map also traces the infrastructure connecting these communities, notably the Sandholt Bridge and the various agricultural corridors like Dolan Rd and Trafton Rd that support the region's productive valley floor.
