2015 Map of Point Sal

About this map

Point Sal anchors this coastal survey, where the terrestrial terrain of the Casmalia Hills meets the Pacific Ocean. The geography is defined by a series of prominent headlands and offshore features, including Mussel Point, Mussel Rock, and the twin formations of Lion Rock and Seal Rock. Inland, the Point Sal Ridge rises above the coastline, accessible by the winding Point Sal Rd. To the north, the Santa Maria River terminates its course through the Santa Maria Valley, marking the boundary between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The map provides a look at this preserved shoreline as it appeared in 2015, showing the complex topography of the coastal bluffs and the Public Land Survey System divisions in t10n r36w.
