1956 Map of Point Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Point Sur Lighthouse Reservation dominates this 1950s coastal survey, marking the prominent volcanic rock that reaches out into the Pacific Ocean. This isolated sentinel, complete with its lighthouse, stands as the primary navigational landmark along a coast defined by steep cliffs and the inland peaks of Sierra Hill. The mapping of The California Sea Otter Game Refuge along the shoreline highlights the region's environmental preservation efforts during the mid-20th century.
