2015 Map of San Simeon

About this map

San Simeon Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, where the Pacific Ocean meets the steep, rising ridges of the Santa Lucia Range. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure surrounding the historic Hearst estate, most notably Hearst Castle Rd and the North Entrance Rock near San Simeon Point. This area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and coastal canyons, including Arroyo del Puerto and Arroyo De La Laguna, which carve through the high terrain of Burnett Peak and Garrity Peak. Inland, the terrain becomes increasingly steep and marked by distinct landmarks such as Rocky Butte and the tiered Three Troughs Falls, illustrating the dramatic vertical elevation changes that define this portion of the Central Coast.
