1932 Map of Arroyo Sequit

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The coastal terrain where the Santa Monica Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean is the primary focus of this topography from the early 1930s. The survey reveals a sparsely developed landscape defined by deep canyons and the winding path of Arroyo Sequit. Coastal access is dominated by the Roosevelt Highway, later designated as U. S. Route No. 101, which hugs the shoreline near Sequit Pt. This era shows Malibu before the intensive modern development of the late 20th century, where the steep topography and drainage basins like Nicholas Canyon dictated the limited placement of early roads and structures. The map serves as a detailed record of the Ventura and Los Angeles County line before the massive expansion of the Southern California highway system.
