1948 Map of Adelaida

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Adelaida and the surrounding ranching landscape of San Luis Obispo County are captured here just after the war. The northern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the expansive Camp Roberts Military Reservation, a site of significant mobilization for the Army during the 1940s. Beyond the military boundary, the map reveals a community defined by its schools, cemeteries, and family holdings. The local rural infrastructure is anchored by landmarks like the Lincoln Sch and the Adelaida Cem, while names like White Ranch and Chimney Rock Ranch point to the area's agricultural roots. A complex network of drainage, including Las Tablas Creek and Snake Creek, carves through the terrain toward Peachy Canyon, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the California Central Coast before late-century development intensified.
