1949 Map of Villa Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Hunter Liggett Military Reservation dominates the landward portion of this coastal survey, where the rugged Santa Lucia range meets the Pacific Ocean. The landscape is defined by its administrative boundaries, showing the intersection of the Los Padres National Forest and the military reservation. Several steep drainages cut through the terrain toward the sea, including Villa Creek, Alder Creek, and Spruce Creek, which terminate at a rocky and kelp-strewn shoreline. The 1949 data reflects a sparsely populated wilderness area under federal management, focusing on the natural topography and military boundaries of the Monterey coast. A notable feature is Redwood Gulch, which highlights the specific botanical and geological pockets found along this isolated stretch of the Central Coast before later developments altered the regional character.
