1982 Map of Point Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this Central Coast landscape, separating the wild Pacific shoreline from the agricultural heart of the Salinas Valley. In the early 1980s, this region remained a patchwork of protected wilderness and specialized development, from the Sea Otter Game Refuge along the coast to the Fort Hunter Liggett Military Reservation in the south. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the backbone for valley floor settlements like King City, Soledad, and San Lucas, while the Cabrillo Highway clings to the cliffs near Point Sur and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Interior landmarks such as Tassajara Hot Springs and the Soledad State Prison highlight the diverse land use, while the San Andreas Rift Zone traces the eastern edge through the Gabilan Range and Pinnacles National Monument.
