1948 Map of Adelaida

About this map

The Adelaida settlement and its surrounding cattle country define this late 1940s landscape in the Santa Lucia Range foothills. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Camp Roberts Military Reservation, shown here just a few years after its heavy use during the war. Local life centers on the drainage of Las Tablas Creek and Snake Creek, where family-held lands like White Ranch and Chimney Rock Ranch are mapped in detail. The presence of the Lincoln Sch and the Adelaida Cem near the town center provides a clear view of the community's established social infrastructure before the mid-century period. Roads such as the Paso Robles Road and San Miguel Road serve as the primary conduits through the winding canyons, connecting these rural outposts to the larger hubs of San Luis Obispo County.
