About this map

Pigeon Point serves as the prominent coastal anchor for this San Mateo County survey, where the terrestrial landscape of the Central California coast meets the Pacific Ocean. The coastline is defined by sharp geographical transitions, including Pescadero Point and Bolsa Point, interspersed with sandy stretches like Pebble Beach and Arroyo De Los Frijoles Beach. Inland, the terrain rises toward The Mesa, cut by deep drainage features such as Yankee Jim Gulch and Spring Bridge Gulch.

A network of local routes including Bean Hollow Rd and Artichoke Rd provides access to the coastal shelf, reflecting the area's agricultural and maritime character. The presence of Lake Lucerne and the seasonal flows of Arroyo De Los Frijoles underscore the importance of coastal hydrology in this environment. The map also delineates the Nature Tr and several local connectors that weave through the Bean Hollow area.
