1949 Map of Anaheim
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Agricultural groves and emerging suburban grids define this post-war landscape across Anaheim, Fullerton, and Garden Grove. The era's aviation and military footprint is prominent at the Fullerton Municipal Airport and the Naval Reservation containing Haster Field, while the remnants of wartime infrastructure appear at a POW Camp (Aband) near the Santa Ana River. Social and cultural hubs of the late 1940s are visible through landmarks like the Garden Grove Sanatorium, Santa Ana Junior College, and the Melrose Abbey Mausoleum. Extensive flood control efforts are documented via numerous Flood Control Settling Basins and the Carbon Canyon Wash. Smaller settlements like Colonia Independencia and Colonia Manzanillo sit alongside major rail lines including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Pacific Electric.
