1950 Map of Mt. Tamalpais

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Muir Woods National Monument and the heights of Mt Tamalpais State Park dominate this mid-century look at the Marin coastline and the northern entrance to the Golden Gate. Inland, the map traces the suburban growth of San Rafael, Fairfax, and Mill Valley along the U. S. 101 corridor. Along the Pacific, isolated settlements like Bolinas and Stinson Beach remain connected by the winding path of State Highway 1. The southern tip of the peninsula is defined by heavy military installations, including Fort Cronkhite and Fort Barry, guarding the coastal approaches. Marine features such as Duxbury Reef and the Potato Patch Shoal highlight the navigational hazards of the Gulf of the Farallones, while the Mile Rocks Lighthouse stands watch over the entrance to San Francisco.
