1959 Map of Pico Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The central California coastline near San Simeon is defined by a narrow shelf of land between the Santa Lucia Range and the Pacific Ocean. This late 1950s survey captures a localized network of residential streets including Pico Ave, Avonne Ave, and Balboa Ave situated just west of the Cabrillo Highway. These developments sit adjacent to the historic Piedra Blanca Grant boundary, reflecting the transition from large rancho holdings to mid-century coastal settlement. The coastline itself is marked by distinctive features such as Pico Rock and the northern reaches of San Simeon Beach State Park. Topographic details reveal several water sources, including Arroyo del Padre Juan and various unnamed Springs, which likely influenced the placement of early habitations like The Oaks.
