About this map

Pigeon Point serves as the focal landmark on this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the expansive Pacific Ocean. The coastline is defined by a series of distinct geographical formations, including Pescadero Point and Bolsa Point, separated by small beaches such as Pebble Beach and Arroyo De Los Frijoles Beach. Inland, the topography rises toward The Mesa, a plateau incised by drainages with evocative local names like Yankee Jim Gulch and Spring Bridge Gulch.

The road network, including Bean Hollow Rd and Artichoke Rd, suggests an agricultural or rural character for this section of San Mateo County. Local water features like Arroyo De Los Frijoles and Bolsa Creek provide the primary drainage for the hills as they descend toward the shoreline. Small access points like the Nature Trail and Pigeon Point Rd offer a clear view of how this specific coastal segment was managed and accessed in the early 2020s.
