1918 Map of Point Reyes

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

The Northwestern Pacific railroad corridor defines the eastern shore of Tomales Bay, connecting coastal outposts like Hamlet, Marshall, and Bivalve during the late 1910s. This survey illustrates a landscape dominated by large agricultural land grants and ranching operations, such as Pierce Ranch, Adams Ranch, and the Muddy Hollow Ranch. The intricate coastline of the Point Reyes peninsula is documented in detail, from the sweeping Drakes Bay to the fingers of Drakes Estero. Inland, the map reveals a network of small rural schools including Halleck School and Chileno School, which served the scattered dairy and ranching families of the era. The presence of the Coast Guard Station near the tip of Point Reyes and the Blacksmith Shop near the Point Reyes School underscores the maritime and working character of the peninsula before it became a national preserve.
