About this map

The dramatic coastline of the Santa Lucia Range defines this coastal survey, where the terrestrial and maritime worlds collide at the Pacific Ocean. Before the modernization of the coast road, maritime activity centered on industrial outposts like Notleys Landing and Bixby Landing, where products from the interior were shipped from the steep cliffs. Inland, the landscape is shaped by massive ranch holdings including Corona Ranch, San Francisquito Ranch, and Molera Ranch, reflecting a transitional era of land use between early Spanish grants and developing forest management within the Santa Barbara National Forest.
