1947 Map of Point Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Santa Lucia Range peaks dominate this coastal landscape, where the Santa Lucia mountains drop directly into the Pacific. The land is divided by historic land grants including San Jose y Sur Chiquito and El Sur, reflecting a ranching economy centered around family holdings like Cooper Ranch and Molera Ranch. Along the coast, maritime activity and early industrial transport are evidenced by Notleys Landing and Bixby Landing, while the interior shows a network of rural education with Sur School, Cooper School, and Majestic School scattered among the canyons.
