Photograph of a birdseye view of Castle Rock and Pacific Coast Highway, looking southeast toward Santa Monica, ca.1925. The large conical rock is at center, jutting out over a sandy beach at right. The two-lane coast highway winds its way along the shore at left. Its shoulders are marked by tire tracks, and cars can be seen parked along the side of the road in the distance. The left side of the road is bordered by steep hillsides.
