Description
Postcard depicting Arch Rock, a natural rock arch that used to adorn the coast just east (or south) of the mouth of Topanga Canyon. The rudimentary "coast road" passed right through it, although it was only passable at low tide. Like the nearby Castle Rock group, Arch Rock was a popular destination for day-trippers and picnickers from Santa Monica or Los Angeles. The rock formation was destroyed one night in 1906 under suspicious circumsyances, and later widened into the highway that became the Pacific Coast Highway.
