2021 Map of Point Sur

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific Ocean along this dramatic section of the Monterey coastline. Central to the map is the prominent volcanic outcrop of Point Sur, which is preserved within Point Sur State Historic Park. The geography here transitions rapidly from the surf-beaten Ventura Rocks and Sur Rock to high elevations like Sierra Hill and Mescal Ridge. This 2021 survey traces the modern coastal infrastructure, showing how the Coast Rd and remnants of the Old Coast Rd navigate the steep terrain. Watercourses such as Bixby Cr and the Little Sur River carve deep canyons into the hillsides, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped this land for centuries.
