1956 Map of Point Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Point Sur Lighthouse Reservation stands as the primary maritime landmark on this 1956 coastal survey, which documents the rugged Monterey coastline before modern development patterns fully took hold. The landscape is defined by the winding Coast Highway, crossing the iconic Bixby Bridge and passing through the dramatic terrain of Sierra Hill and Mescal Ridge. This map captures a specific moment of transition, noting the Sur School (Aband) and the former location of Bixby Landing (Site), points that mark the area's early industrial and educational history.
