2018 Map of Point Dume

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area dominates this coastal landscape, where high peaks like Castro Peak and Ballard Mtn overlook the Pacific. The southern shoreline is defined by the prominent headland of Point Dume, separating Dume Cove and Pirates Cove from the long stretch of Trancas Beach. Inland, the map reveals the complex road and trail network that serves communities like Seminole Hot Springs and Cornell, including segments of the California Coastal Trail and the Backbone Trail. This 2018 survey captures the modern interface between dense residential developments such as Malibu Vista and Mahou Riviera and the expansive protected wildlands of the Santa Monica Mountains. The presence of Lake Enchanto near the northern border suggests the recreational legacy of the canyons before they transition into the suburban reaches of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village.
