1956 Map of Carmel Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Carmel River drainage serves as the primary corridor for development in the mid-1950s, anchoring a landscape where ranching history meets mid-century growth. High in the valley, the Holman Ranch and Robles Del Rio mark established hubs of local activity, while educational infrastructure like the Tularcitos School and Carmel Valley Sch serve the expanding community. Water management is a defining theme of the era, with both the San Clemente Dam and Los Padres Dam illustrated along the river's course to support the region's needs. Away from the valley floor, the terrain rises into the Los Padres National Forest, characterized by numerous named ridges such as Osborne Ridge and Buckeye Ridge. The map also details specific sites like Camp Stephani and Princes Camp, alongside administrative markers including the Carmel River Guard Sta.
