1918 Map of Point Reyes

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Tomales Bay bisects this West Marin landscape, separating the long peninsula of Punta De Los Reyes from the ranchlands of the mainland. During this era, the Northwestern Pacific railroad skirts the eastern shore, connecting small settlements like Marshall, Marconi, and Hamlet to the larger hub at Point Reyes Station. The interior is defined by massive land grants such as Soulajule (Vasquez) and Nicasio (Black), reflecting a pattern of large-scale dairy ranching that shaped the region’s early economy. The presence of multiple rural schoolhouses, including Halleck School and Salmon Creek School, underscores the distributed nature of the farming community. Along the coast, maritime operations are prominent at the Coast Guard Station near the point, while the interior valleys like Olema serve as vital crossroads for the local residents and early travelers through the Punta De Los Reyes Ridge.
