1954 Map of Point Reyes

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Tomales Bay bisects the landscape in this mid-century survey, separating the pastoral ranching lands of the Point Reyes peninsula from the coastal hills of western Marin County. The peninsula is characterized by extensive family dairy operations, including Upper Pierce Ranch, Kehoe Ranch, and Bear Valley Ranch, alongside maritime infrastructure like the Radio Sta and the Lighthouse at the western tip. On the eastern shore, the Point Reyes Station and Olema serve as inland hubs, while the College of Pacific Marine Sta of Biological Science at Dillon Beach represents the area's growing academic and scientific interests. The presence of several historic sites, such as the Blacksmith Shop (Site) and Schooner Ldg (Site), provides a window into the evolution of local commerce and transportation before the establishment of the national seashore.
