1956 Map of Partington Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Andersen Landing and the surrounding coastal bluffs are documented here during the mid-1950s, a period when the Sea Otter Game Refuge protected the waters below the high ridges of the Los Padres National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Pacific Ocean to peaks like Andersen Peak and Mt Olmstead. Interior access is limited to the Coast Ridge Road and a network of remote sites along the Big Sur River, including Barlow Flat Camp, Sykes Camp, and Cienega Camp. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage systems of Partington Creek and Hot Springs Canyon before modern development altered the footprint of this shoreline. Notable landmarks such as McWay Falls, Grimes Point, and Timber Top mark the dramatic meeting of sea and mountain.
