1965 Map of Anaheim

About this map

Anaheim and the surrounding Citrus Belt landscapes are shown in a period of intense post-war urbanization and suburban expansion. The infrastructure of the entertainment age is firmly established, with the grounds of Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm serving as major regional anchors alongside Anaheim Stadium. The transition from an agricultural past to a residential and industrial hub is evident in the dense street grids of Fullerton, Garden Grove, and Santa Ana that now cover much of the terrain. The sheet provides a clear look at the region's complex transit network, from the heavy rail lines of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific to the modern corridors of the Santa Ana Freeway. Numerous educational and civic institutions, including Connelly High Sch and the County Hospital, are mapped amidst the expanding residential blocks.
