1954 Map of Moss Landing
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Monterey Bay meets a complex network of coastal wetlands and industrial development in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Pajaro River and several significant sloughs, including Elkhorn Slough and Moro Cojo Slough, which frame the central settlement of Moss Landing. A large Power Plant and adjacent gas tanks sit prominently near the harbor, marking the area's transition into a regional energy hub. Deep underwater, the Monterey Canyon is traced through detailed bathymetric contours just offshore.
