About this map

The coastal village of San Gregorio serves as a focal point for this section of the San Mateo County shoreline in the late 1990s. The landscape is defined by its Spanish land grant heritage, with clear delineations for the San Gregorio (Rodriguez) Grant and the San Antonio Or Pescadero Grant. These boundaries reflect the deep-rooted agricultural and pastoral history of the region, where roads like Stage Road follow the winding topography toward the community of Pescadero in the south.

Water and conservation define the western edge, most notably at the Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve where Pescadero Creek and Butano Creek converge. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of St Anthony Cem and Mt Hope Cem near the southern edge of the survey. The inland terrain rises sharply from Sand Beach toward Gordon Ridge and Star Hill, illustrating the transition from the Pacific surf to the forested ridges of the coastal range.
