1918 Map of Point Reyes

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Punta de los Reyes dominates the Pacific coastline in this survey, defined by the sharp hook of Point Reyes and the protected waters of Drakes Bay. The coastal economy is clearly visible through the numerous ranching outposts like Pierce Ranch and Adams Ranch, alongside specialized operations such as the Trout Farm near Inverness Park. Transport and communication infrastructure of the era is anchored by the Northwestern Pacific RR, which skirts the eastern shore of Tomales Bay, serving small landings and stations including Hamlet, Marshall, and the oddly named Bivalve. Interior land use is marked by extensive Mexican-era land grant boundaries, such as Soulajule (Vasquez) and Nicasio (Black). Educational hubs are scattered throughout the rural landscape, from the Halleck School to the Salmon Creek School, reflecting a settled agricultural community before the area became primarily a recreational and conservation landscape.
