Big Sur, on California's central coast, was a remote stretch of mountains and surf in 1907, with no paved road linking it to the outside world until the late 1930s. The redwood groves in its canyons drew attention that year because San Francisco was still rebuilding after the April 1906 earthquake and fire, and the city needed enormous quantities of lumber. Residents of the Monterey Peninsula, a short distance north, knew the coast mainly for its hotels, fishing, and the tourists who arrived by rail and steamer. This panoramic photograph, titled as a "Redwood Park," shows how the region's timber and scenery were being presented to visitors as much as they were being cut for market.
