1995 Map of Soberanes Point

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Carmel Highlands marks the northern edge of this coastal survey, where the Santa Lucia Range meets the Pacific Ocean. This 1995 revision of a mid-century survey illustrates the dramatic geography of the Big Sur coast, characterized by numerous drainage canyons like Malpaso Creek, Garrapata Creek, and Palo Colorado Creek that cut through the high ridges. The map captures the interface between land and sea, noting treacherous offshore features like Lobos Rocks and Yankee Point Rock. Cultural markers of the era include the Palo Colorado School and the coastal outpost at Notleys Landing. Large land divisions, including the San Jose Y Sur Chiquito grant, reflect the region's complex history of ranching and land use, while The California Sea Otter Game Refuge highlights early conservation efforts along this shoreline.
