About this map

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area dominates this coastal landscape, where the peaks of the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This survey documents the complex residential development along the shore and within the steep canyons, including the communities of Malibu, Trancas, and Mahou Riviera. The geography is defined by narrow drainage systems such as Ramirez Canyon, Solstice Canyon, and Zuma Canyon that carve through the high ground of Castro Peak and Ballard Mtn before reaching the coast.

A network of winding roads like Kanan Rd and Latigo Canyon Rd provides the primary access between the interior settlements of Cornell and Westlake Village and the beach communities. The southern edge of the map features prominent coastal landmarks including Point Dume and Lechuza Point, while the northern portion transitions into the edge of Thousand Oaks. Notable inland water features include Malibu Lake and Lake Enchanto, highlighting the area's mixed recreational and residential character.
