1897 Map of Port Harford

About this map

Port Harford serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of the Pecho Mountain Range meets the shelf of the Pacific Ocean. The topography is defined by a succession of steep drainages, including Wild Cherry Canyon and Mine Canyon, which carve through the high ground of Saddle Peak and Bald Knob. Along the shoreline, maritime navigation is highlighted by landmarks such as Pt. San Luis, Whaler Id., and Tunnel Pt., while the presence of San Luis Hill overlooking the harbor suggests the strategic importance of this cove before modern coastal development. The inland portion of the San Miguelito land grant shows a network of canyons like Diablo Canyon and Rude Canyon, illustrating a rugged transition from mountain peaks to the sea.
