Monterey Map Art

Monterey's downtown sits on a peninsula bounded by Monterey Bay to the east and the Pacific to the west, with Cannery Row running along the waterfront where the sardine industry once dominated. The street grid terminates at the water's edge on three sides, creating a distinctive triangular footprint that forces all traffic through a narrow downtown core. Alvarado Street runs as the main commercial spine, while Del Monte Avenue traces the bay's curve to the south.
