1959 Map of Cambria

About this map

Cambria and its neighboring valleys are captured here during a period of transition, reflecting both its coastal ranching roots and mid-century strategic importance. The map details the residential expansion south of Santa Rosa Creek, including the layout of streets like Ardath and Chester Lane. To the southeast, the Cambria Air Force Station and its associated water tanks sit atop the coastal terrace, a significant Cold War-era landmark overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
