About this map

Redondo Beach and the coastal hills of the Palos Verdes Peninsula define this late-twentieth-century landscape. The map highlights the transition from the dense urban grid of Hermosa Beach and Clifton to the winding, topography-following residential roads of Palos Verdes Estates. Offshore, the depths of Redondo Canyon drop away into Santa Monica Bay, a stark contrast to the developed shoreline.

Educational institutions and leisure spaces are prominent, from Mira Costa High School in the north to Marymount College overlooking the southern cliffs. Notable coastal landmarks include the US Coast Guard Reservation Lighthouse at Point Vicente and the extensive grounds of Marineland near Long Point. The presence of the Palos Verdes Country Club and Los Verdes Golf Course reflects the suburban character of the peninsula as it stood in the mid-1990s.
