1954 Map of Tomales

About this map

Tomales Bay dominates this coastal landscape, carved deeply by the Tomales Rift Zone between the mainland and the Point Reyes peninsula. Along the eastern shore, the infrastructure of a coastal economy is visible through the Old Railroad Grade and numerous small landings such as Blakes Landing and Cypress Grove. The peninsula side is defined by extensive ranching operations, including Upper Pierce Ranch, Lower Pierce Ranch, and Kehoe Ranch, showcasing the agricultural footprint on the rugged terrain before the full expansion of protected parklands.
