1961 Map of San Gregorio

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

San Mateo Coast State Beaches define the shoreline of this coastal survey, where the rugged cliffs of the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This early 1960s topographic study reveals the deep agricultural and ranching roots of the region through the persistence of old land grants, such as the San Gregorio (Rodriguez) Grant Boundary and the San Antonio or Pescadero Grant Boundary. These boundaries reflect the historical Spanish and Mexican era holdings that influenced the placement of early roads like Stage Road. To the south, the settlement of Pescadero serves as a local hub near the confluence of Pescadero Creek and Butano Creek, while nearby St Anthony Cem and Mt Hope Cem provide valuable touchpoints for family historians. The landscape is characterized by steep canyons carved by Tunitas Creek and San Gregorio Creek, illustrating the coastal drainage patterns before the expansion of modern development.
