About this map

Santa Monica Mountains dominate this 1991 landscape, where the steep canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area meet the coastline of Santa Monica Bay. The map captures the suburban density of Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica alongside the more dispersed canyon settlements of Topanga, Fernwood, and Sylvia Park. Coastal access is a primary feature, shown through a string of public lands including Topanga State Beach and Will Rogers State Beach.

Inland, the network of canyons such as Rustic Canyon, Sullivan Canyon, and Santa Ynez Canyon reveal the complex topography that defines this region. Notable landmarks including the Will Rogers State Park Polo Field, Camp Josepho, and the Corpus Christi Sch provide specific points of interest for local history and development. The presence of a Quarry and the Trippet Ranch suggests the varied land use across these coastal ridges.
