1956 Map of Soberanes Point

About this map

Notleys Landing sits on a high terrace overlooking the Pacific, a focal point of human activity in this coastal landscape during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates the transition from the residential enclave of Carmel Highlands in the north to the sprawling Palo Corona Ranch further inland. Deep drainages like Palo Colorado Canyon and Garrapata Creek cut through the steep coastal hills, while the offshore waters are designated as The California Sea Otter Game Refuge.
