In her 1922 St. Paul exhibition Atmospheric Studies, Torrey Pines was listed in brochure as entry # 67, under sub-heading La Jolla.

 

Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is 2,000 acres of coastal state park located in the community of La Jolla, in San Diego,California, off North Torrey Pines Road. Although it is located within San Diego city limits,[1] it remains one of the wildest stretches of land (8 km²) on the Southern California coast. It is bordered immediately on the south by Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course and on the north by the city of Del Mar. The reserve was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1977.[2]  (Wikipedia accessed January, 2018)
