1995 Map of Point Dume

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains define this stretch of the Pacific coast, where deep canyons like Zuma Canyon and Solstice Canyon descend toward the sea. By the mid-1990s, the area shows a distinct contrast between the vast protected lands of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and the emerging residential clusters along the shore. Pockets of development such as Malibu Riviera and Malibu Vista sit tucked between the coastline and the steep ridges. High-elevation landmarks like the Castro Pk Lookout and Saddle Rock watch over the winding Mulholland Hwy. Along the shoreline, recreational hubs like Paradise Cove and the prominent Point Dume serve as anchors for a landscape increasingly oriented toward conservation and high-end coastal living, while inland sites like Seminole Hot Springs recall the region's diverse geology.
