Priority list

This was quite a pain to sort out, problems abetted first by a great deal of label drift on the maps, and second my a lot of sloppiness in naming. Older topos make it clear that "Sea Cliff" was first of all a small yard which was reduced over the years to the long passing siding which is still there. As more roads were run through the area, the label drifted away towards the northwest; then an interchange was dropped into the mix which obliterated the area most recently labelled "Sea Cliff", which inspection shows was always the location of various industrial/maintenance structures. Complicating all of this is a narrow strip of gated community wedged between Pacific Coast Highway and the shore, which after some searching I discovered is now called "Seacliff Beach Colony". At the southeast end of this is Hobson Beach Park, a county campground with a little cafe in the midst of it. Well, OK, and there's a Hobson Rd. running alongside the railroad on the north, but the main road in the gated community is Rincon Beach Park Dr, except that Rincon is a fair ways up the coast. Nonetheless, until the houses show up on the topos, the strip of land is labelled "RINCON". The upshot of all this is, it's clear there was never a town here called Sea Cliff, it's not even clear that the little strip of houses was always called Sea Cliff, and I just don't think it is a notable place anyway, considering how hard it was to find out its name.
