1955 Map of San Gregorio

About this map

Pescadero and San Gregorio anchor this mid-1950s survey of the San Mateo coast, where ancient Mexican land grant divisions still define the landscape. The large-scale boundaries of the San Gregorio (Rodriguez) Grant Boundary and the San Antonio or Pescadero Grant Boundary emphasize the region's ranching heritage, even as the Old Coast Hwy began facilitating modernization. Local civic life is centered around rural institutions like the Seaside School and the Elementary Sch in Pescadero, alongside a notable Cem. The coastal geography is marked by several significant drainages, including Tunitas Creek and Pescadero Creek, which meet the Pacific Ocean at sandy stretches like Pomponio Beach. This period reflects the area's agricultural character before the significant expansion of modern coastal infrastructure.
