1956 Map of Carmel Valley

About this map

Carmel Valley is defined here by its mid-century development along the Carmel River, where the transition from agriculture to residential retreats is evident. The northern valley floor is anchored by Robles Del Rio and the Holman Ranch, while local infrastructure is marked by the Tularcitos School and several ranger stations, including the Tularcitos Guard Sta. Water management for Monterey County is a dominant theme, with the San Clemente Dam creating a significant reservoir and the Los Padres Dam positioned further upstream within the Los Padres National Forest.
