Coastal California - Published 1993 by National Geographic
Historic Coastal Map | Redwoods to San Diego | Panoramic Format (792 × 253 mm) | Premium Finishes
A beautifully illustrated panoramic map capturing the full sweep of California’s iconic coastline. Published by National Geographic in July 1993, this piece forms part of a two-map set and presents a vivid, travel-focused view of one of the world’s most celebrated coastal regions.
Stretching from the towering redwood forests of the north to the sunlit beaches of Southern California, this map reveals a coastline defined by dramatic landscapes, vibrant cities, and endless opportunities for exploration.
