1948 Map of Canada Gobernadora

About this map

Mission Viejo and Trabuco land grants define this landscape shortly after the war, showing a rural corner of Orange County before the arrival of modern suburban developments. The topography is dominated by the broad, flat Plano Trabuco and a complex network of canyons including Arroyo Trabuco, Bell Canyon, and Cañada Gobernadora. In the southern reach of the sheet, the Old Mission Site rests near the confluence of several drainages, while the Ortega Highway snakes eastward into the Cleveland National Forest.
