2018 Map of Soberanes Point

About this map

Yankee Point and the steep slopes of the Santa Lucia Range define this coastal interface where the land drops precipitously into the Pacific Ocean. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by its dramatic verticality, with named peaks like Whale Peak and Puerta del Diablo standing above deep-cut drainages such as Wildcat Canyon and Granite Canyon. The network of trails, including the Soberanes Point Trl and Rocky Ridge Trl, suggests a region dedicated to coastal access and conservation. Transportation is funneled along the narrow corridor of Coast Rd, while more isolated roads like Palo Colorado Rd and Garrapata Trout Farm Rd push eastward into the ridges. The map meticulously labels the jagged shoreline features, from Yankee Point Rock in the north to Rocky Point further south, illustrating the numerous creeks like Malpaso Cr and Garrapata Cr that have carved the coastal terrace.
