1956 Map of Carmel Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Carmel Valley and Robles Del Rio anchor this mid-century look at the winding course of the Carmel River as it cuts through the Santa Lucia Range. The 1956 field survey, updated with 1981 aerial data, reveals a landscape defined by ranching and water management. Early educational centers like Carmel Valley Sch and Tularcitos School serve the growing communities, while the presence of Holman Ranch and Tularcitos Ranch highlights the area's agricultural roots. The map traces the critical role of the river through infrastructure like the San Clemente Dam and Los Padres Dam. Toward the south, the terrain shifts into the protected expanse of the Los Padres National Forest and Ventana National Wilderness Area, where trails like the Cachagua Grade navigate the steep ridges and canyons.
