1956 Map of Pfeiffer Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park dominates this coastal landscape, where the Big Sur River meets the Pacific. The survey reveals a community centered on early conservation and recreation infrastructure, including the Big Sur Guard Sta and the Pfeiffer Sch. Moving south from Sawmill Flat Campground, the map details a rugged transition from redwood-lined canyons to the dramatic sea cliffs of Pfeiffer Point and Pfeiffer Rock. Inland, the California State Game Refuge and Los Padres National Forest protect the upland ridges of Clear Ridge and Sycamore. Local genealogy and habitation are noted through family-named sites like Posts and Graves, alongside small structures at Weyland Camp. This edition reflects the mid-century character of the region before further modern development, preserving the locations of early landmarks like the Dam and several Falls.
