Pescadero and San Gregorio anchor this coastal survey, where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific shoreline. The landscape is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Tunitas Cr, Pomponio Cr, and San Gregorio Cr, which carve through the coastal terrace to reach the sea at points like San Gregorio Beach and Pescadero Beach. The map details a rural infrastructure of winding roads such as Stage Rd and Tunitas Creek Rd, reflecting a long history of agricultural and timber activity. Local genealogy is supported by the inclusion of Mount Hope Cem and Saint Anthony Cem near the southern edge of the sheet. Further inland, named features like Round Hill and various gulches—Tahana Gulch, Chandler Gulch, and Dairy Gulch—trace the complex topography that historically isolated these coastal enclaves from the more urbanized peninsula to the east.
