1949 Map of Bradley

About this map

The confluence of three major waterways—the Salinas River, San Antonio River, and Nacimiento River—dominates this landscape at the intersection of Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties. The small settlement of Bradley sits at the northern edge of the map, served by the Southern Pacific railroad line which follows the eastern bank of the Salinas. This 1949 survey, with revisions noted through the late 1970s, captures the significant physical footprint of the Camp Roberts Military Reservation, which occupies the majority of the southern and eastern territory.
