About this map

Pescadero and San Gregorio anchor this coastal survey, which reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of steep canyons and the Pacific Ocean. Along the shoreline, a series of distinct beaches including Martins Beach, Tunitas Beach, and Pomponio Beach sit at the mouths of coastal drainages. These waters, such as San Gregorio Creek and Butano Creek, carve deep into the uplifted terrace, creating a complex series of gulches including Tahana and Dairy Gulch.

Genealogists and local historians will find the southern portion of the map particularly detailed, showing the layout of Pescadero near the confluence of Pescadero Creek and Butano Creek. This area includes significant local landmarks such as Saint Anthony Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery. The upland terrain is characterized by features like Gordon Ridge and Round Hill, illustrating the transition from sea-level settlements to the high ridges of the San Mateo coast.
