2015 Map of Point Arguello

About this map

Point Arguello defines the western edge of this coastal survey, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean along a stretch of dramatic cliffs and deep ravines. Small coastal settlements and railroad sidings like Honda, Arguello, and Arlight are situated along the railway corridor that hugs the shoreline. This transportation route navigates the base of the Santa Ynez Mountains, crossing Cañada Honda Cr as it passes through the steep topography of La Honda Canyon. Inland, the terrain rises sharply toward Tranquillon Ridge and Cypress Ridge, while the coast is punctuated by geological landmarks such as Point Pedernales and the offshore Destroyer Rock. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its role as a strategic coastal transit point, with limited infrastructure including Surf Rd and Coast Rd connecting the maritime points and canyon gaps.
