1956 Map of Point Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Point Sur Lighthouse Reservation dominates this mid-century stretch of the Monterey coast, marking the prominent volcanic rock that anchors the shoreline. Just inland, the landscape of El Sur is defined by the sharp rise of Sierra Hill and Mescal Ridge, where deep canyons carved by Bixby Creek and the Little Sur River meet the ocean. The coastal infrastructure of the 1950s is documented here through the presence of the Bixby Bridge and the remains of earlier industry at Bixby Landing.
