The inviting image highlights the coastal region’s scenic natural beauty, robust and diversified economy, and ample opportunities for outdoor leisure. Towering redwood trees, industries of all types, rich history, and numerous transportation options – Monterey Bay has it all! Illustrated by John Courtney Sandefur (signed in the cartouche).

Copyrighted by the Watsonville Press. Promotional text on the verso references statistics and demographics as of 1959, hence the estimated date.
