Big Sur Doghole Ports BIG SUR DOGHOLE PORTS: A FRONTIER MARITIME CULTURAL LANDSCAPE By Jason Field A thesis submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ARTS in Cultural Resources Management Margaret Purser, Ph.D., Chair Department of Anthropology Laura Watt, Ph.D. Department of Environmental Studies and Planning Rae Schwaderer, M.A. Associate State Archaeologist, CA Department of Parks and Recreation Copyright 2017 By Jason Field ii Authorization for Reproduction I grant permission for the print or digital reproduction of this thesis [project] in its entirety, without further authorization from me, on the condition that the person or agency requesting reproduction absorbs the cost and provide proper acknowledgement of authorship. DATE: 4/12/2017 Jason Field Name iii Big Sur Doghole Ports: A Frontier Maritime Cultural Landscape Thesis by Jason Field ABSTRACT Purpose: This study seeks to establish a foundation of research for a subject that has been largely overlooked in the archaeological and historical literature of California in general and Big Sur in particular. Doghole ports served as essential conduits of transportation, communication, and commerce in maritime frontier regions that lacked developed terrestrial transportation networks. Understanding the role of these landings will greatly increase the historic context of the surrounding landscape. In addition, since many doghole ports had not been recorded as archaeological sites prior to this study, it aims to determine what types of archaeological signatures exist and introduce frameworks for interpreting and managing these unique sites. Procedure: This study gathered and examined historical documents, including photographs, maps, land patents, articles of incorporation, and newspapers in an attempt to define a historic context of Big Sur’s maritime landscape during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Archaeological pedestrian reconnaissance was performed at five doghole ports and one navigational aid site. The documentary and archaeological data were analyzed in reference to the maritime cultural landscape and landscape learning theoretical frameworks and the research questions set forth in this study. Findings: Documentary sources and archaeological data gathered through several field surveys combine to illustrate a landscape of industrial and technological innovation and environmental adaptation. Archaeologically, natural features were often found to substitute for human constructions and environmental obstacles were adapted to serve economic and transportation purposes. Conclusions: Doghole port sites and related elements in Big Sur embody a maritime cultural landscape of transportation and industry, which prior to this study, has not been addressed. Examining the documentary and archaeological record in a maritime cultural landscape framework illustrate newfound links amongst sites and features. Terrestrial archaeological features are no longer entirely terrestrial as the framework illuminates their maritime orientation and connection. This perspective can contribute to a much needed dialogue on how to address the maritime heritage of California. MA Cultural Resources Management Sonoma State University Date: 4/12/2017 iv Acknowledgments This study could not have been accomplished without the help and support of several key individuals and organizations. First, I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Margaret Purser, who provided a wealth of knowledge and assisted immensely in coordinating with important agencies, such as California State Parks and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dr. Purser provided a challenging and supportive academic and learning environment that allowed me to address my true interests. I would like to thank my committee member, Rae Schwaderer, for her interest and support in this topic and allowing me to survey and document these important cultural resources on State Park property. Rae also provided State Park camping accommodations, which was a great convenience. I would also like to thank, Dr. Laura Watt, committee member, who provided great input and ideas for this study. The Anthropological Studies Center was also an immensely valuable resource. Kate Green helped initiate thesis fieldwork during the ASC small projects internship. Mike Konzak and Bryan Mischke were also greatly helpful in honing my GIS knowledge and also providing assistance with GPS gear. I am also indebted to my cohort, who was all great support throughout the coursework and internships at Sonoma State. Also, good times at Lobos! Thank you to those that partook in the fieldwork component of my research, including Lauren Carriere, Ryan Poska, Erica Thompson, Brittney Biasi, Pete Banke, Travis, Willie and others. Thank you to the Big Sur Land Trust, who allowed me to document archaeological resources on their property. It became an essential component of this study. Family and friends were also very supportive. I also cannot forget the Big Sur community, who showed great interest in this research. v Table of Contents Acknowledgments…..….…………………………………………………………………v Table of Contents……………………………………………………...…………...…….vi List of Figures…………………………………………………………….….…………..ix CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………1 Study Area and Archaeological Sites Recorded………………………………….3 Big Sur…………………………..…………………………………...……3 Archaeological Sites…………………………..…………………………..5 Theoretical Frameworks…………………………..……………………..……….7 The Maritime Cultural Landscape……………………………………..….7 Landscape Learning…………………………..…………………….……..8 Research Questions……………………………………………………….………8 Data Sources…………………………..…………………………...……………11 Thesis Organization…………………………..………………...……………….12 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK……15 Introduction…………………………………………………………..………….15 Cultural Landscapes and Maritime Archaeology.…………………...…………16 The Land-Sea Divide and the National Register……………………………….19 The Maritime Cultural Landscape……………………………………...………24 Maritime Heritage Management…………………..……..………………36 Landscape Learning…………………………..……………………...…………39 Landscape Learning in Maritime Contexts..……...…………….………..42 Western Environmental History……………………………………….…43 Doghole Port Literature…………………………..……………………….…….44 Literature Summary………………….………………………..………….……..46 CHAPTER 3: HISTORIC CONTEXT OF BIG SUR DOGHOLE PORTS…………48 Introduction…………………………..…………………………..…….….…….48 California Markets and Coastal Industry……………………………………....49 Development of California Doghole Ports…………………………….………..54 Cultural Occupations in Big Sur ……………………………………………….56 Native American Period…………………..……………………….……..56 Spanish and Mexican Period…………………..……………………...…58 vi American Period……..………………..………………………………..60 Industrial Development in Big Sur…………………………..…………………61 Doghole Ports of Big Sur…………………………..……………………………65 Coal Chute and Strader’s Landing…………………………..…………..68 Notley’s Landing…………………………..……………………………..70 Bixby Landing………………………..…………………………………..76 Point Sur………………………..………………………………………..80 Big Sur River Mouth………………………..……………………………82 Partington’s Seaview Landing………………………..………………….84 Anderson/ Saddle Rock Landing………………………..………………..87 Harlan Landing………………………..…………………………………89 Rockland Landing………………………..………………………………91 Mill Creek Landing………………………..……………………………..95 Pacific Valley Landing………………………..………………………….85 Cape San Martin Landing………………………..………………………96 Alder Creek Landing………………………..……………………………98 A Frontier Landscape….………………………………………………...99 Additional Maritime Elements: Lighthouses and Shipwrecks…...………....100 Decline of Coastal Commerce and Doghole Ports…………..……….………103 Historic Context and Archaeological Survey…..…………………………..…104 CHAPTER 4: ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY………………………..……………106 Archaeological Survey Locations……………………………….……………106 Pre-field Research and Documentary Evidence…………...……….…..……106 Archaeological Survey Goals……………..…………………………..………109 Archaeological Survey Methods and Approaches to Site Recording.….……110 Archaeological Survey Results………..……………………………….………114 Notley’s Landing………………………..………………...…………….114 Big Sur River Mouth………………………..…………………………..119 Partington Landing………………………..……………………………122 Rockland Landing………………………..………………………..……127 Coat Chute Point………………………..………………………………131 Signal Rock………………………..……………………………...…….133 Unrecorded/ Inaccessible Features……………………………………..……..135 Site Patterns and Differentiations……………………………………………..136 vii CHAPTER 5: PIECING TOGETHER THE MARITIME CULTURAL LANDSCAPE…………………………..………………………………………………140 Elements that Define a Doghole Ports…………………………………….…..141 Managing the Doghole Port……………………………………………145 Elements that Define the Doghole Port Maritime Cultural Landscape..…….146 Land Remains-Terrestrial Transportation…………………….……..…147 Traditions of Usage…………………………………………………….149 Linking Maritime Cultural Landscape Elements……………………………..152 Maritime Infrastructure……………………………………...…………154 Bridging the Shoreline Divide………………………….……...……….157 Managing Boundaries…………………………………………………..160 Reassessing the Landscape: The Roles of Doghole Ports…………………….162 Reliance on Coastal Commerce…………………………….…………..165 A Unique Maritime Cultural Landscape...…………..……...………….167 Landscape Learning in a Maritime Frontier………………………………….168 Prior Knowledge………………………………………………………..170 New Environments……………………….……………………………..171 Changing Technologies and Environmental Understandings………….173 Environmental Misunderstandings…………………………….……….175 Maritime Conservativeness……………………….…………………….177 Supporting Frameworks……………………………………………………….179 The Doghole Port as a Taskscape………………………………..…….179 The

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

  • PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: a BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010
    PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: A BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010 The Significance of the Point Sur Naval Facility. According to the dictionary, significance is “the quality of being important.” In the field of historic preservation the word has a special meaning. Assessing significance involves determining the importance of a historic resource, whether a building, site, or something else, within the broad sweep of history. To do this, the resource must be placed into a historic context. A historic context is a backdrop within which a historic resource can be viewed. One cannot look at a building in a vacuum, it must be looked at in the broader context within which it exists. From this historic context, the relative importance of a resource can be determined. Point Sur’s Role in the Winning of the Cold War. During the Cold War as the Soviet Union rapidly built-up its submarine force, U.S. antisubmarine warfare took on a growing significance. One critical American development was pioneering detection of low frequency submarine sound propagation in the sea. This led to development of the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), which were employed at Naval Facilities (NAVFACs) across the globe. SOSUS greatly assisted the U.S. in maintaining its dominance in anti-submarine warfare, and was critical to American efforts to win the Cold War. Established in 1957, the Pt. Sur NAVFAC is one of the few remaining complete Naval Facilities, and the only one remaining on the west coast. While other Naval Facilities were parts of larger military complexes, Pt. Sur was established as a stand-alone, self-sufficient base.

  • 3.1.1 Introduction This Section Describes the Aesthetic and Visual
    Paraiso Springs Resort Draft Environmental Impact Report 3.1 Aesthetics and Visual Resources 3.1 AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RESOURCES 3.1.1 Introduction This section describes the aesthetic and visual resource conditions at the project site and in the project vicinity; presents the regulatory framework applicable to the proposed project; and discusses the potential aesthetic impacts that could result from implementation of the proposed project. The primary aesthetic concerns associated with the proposed project are potential changes in aesthetic character of the project site; impacts to public viewsheds; and/or obstruction of existing views. The project-specific information and analysis within this section is primarily based on project plans and site reconnaissance and photo documentation of the project site performed by RBF Consulting during the spring of 2007, and a subsequent site visit and documentation by EMC Planning Group in the fall of 2012. 3.1.2 Environmental Setting Local Visual Resources The project site consists of about 235 acres nestled in the mouth of a canyon extending westward into the foothills located at the western terminus of Paraiso Springs Road on the eastern slope of the Sierra de Salinas Foothills in the Salinas Valley, approximately seven miles west of the City of Greenfield. Elevations at the project site range from approximately 1,000 feet in the southern portion of the project site to slightly over 2,400 feet along the ridgelines. Views from the project site consist of scenic ridgelines north, west, and south, and the expansive Salinas Valley to the east. Surrounding land uses currently consist of agricultural uses and grazing, as well as several single-family residences located along Paraiso Springs Road located east of the project site.
