Cadastral map of the still-developing unincorporated community in Monterey County, California, some 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Carmel Highlands was laid out in 1916 by developers Frank Powers and Franklin Devendorf. The present survey is by longtime Monterey city engineer Howard D. Severance, who served in the post from 1906 to 1952. The real estate in Carmel Highlands is now some of the most expensive in the United States, with many celebrities have homes and vacation homes in this area. Various landowners (as of c.1920) are identified, and a few pencil notes add new ones.
