1956 Map of Soberanes Point

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

San Jose Y Sur Chiquito defines the coastal land grant history of this Monterey County landscape, where the Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific. Along the shore, The California Sea Otter Game Refuge protects the waters near prominent headlands like Soberanes Point and Yankee Point. Inland, the map reveals a mid-century rural character with the Palo Colorado School and Notleys Landing serving as local focal points. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous canyons and creeks, including Garrapata Creek and Malpaso Creek, which drop from ridges like Rocky Ridge toward the sea. Traces of human activity are scattered throughout, from the Palo Corona Ranch in the north to a Trout Farm situated near the Joshua Creek drainage, illustrating the era's balance between residential settlement at Carmel Highlands and the enduring wildness of the coast.
