1954 Map of Point Reyes

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The dramatic shoreline of Point Reyes National Seashore and the long, linear corridor of Tomales Bay define this mid-century coastal landscape. This survey documents the area's transition into a protected environment while still showing the active ranching culture, with numerous family-named holdings like Kehoe Ranch, Lairds Ldg, and McClures Ranch dotted across the peninsula. The settlement of Point Reyes Station serves as the inland hub, while the Lighthouse stands watch at the extreme western tip of Point Reyes. Along the eastern shore of the bay, the map details the infrastructure of the period, including the Two Rock Ranch Station Mil Res and the Univ of Pacific Marine Sta of Biological Science. The complex hydrology of the San Andreas Rift Zone is clearly visible, shaping the orientation of the bay and the surrounding ridges.
