1954 Map of Moss Landing

Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which skirts the eastern edge of the marshes near Castroville. Coastal features such as the Sand Dunes at Zmudowski Beach State Park protect the low-lying agricultural fields. For genealogists and local historians, the Castroville Moss Ldg Cem and Moss Landing Union School provide essential landmarks for locating families in the Pajaro Valley region during the early 1950s.
