About this map

The Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific in this 1917 survey, capturing the Big Sur coastline before the completion of the modern highway. Coastal access at this time relied on maritime landings such as Notleys Landing and Bixby Landing, reflecting an era where the rugged Monterey coast was served by sea rather than by asphalt. The interior is defined by sprawling ranch holdings including the Corona Ranch and San Francisquito Ranch, which occupy the canyons and flats between the steep ridges of Mescal Ridge and Chemisal Ridge.
