About this map

The Southern Pacific R. R. (Coast Line) defines the early industrial and transit corridor of this Central Coast landscape, connecting the inland Arroyo Grande Valley to the coastal ports and settlements. Near the shoreline, Mallagh Landing and Avila sit at the edge of San Luis Obispo Bay, while further south, the towns of Pismo, Grover, and Oceano mark the transition from the beach to the fertile interior. Local industry is clearly represented by the Asphalt Mines near Edna, highlighting the region's early resource extraction alongside its agricultural roots.
