1956 Map of Carmel Valley

About this map

Carmel Valley and the neighboring community of Robles Del Rio serve as the primary focal points of this mid-century landscape, where the Carmel River winds through a complex network of ridges. The map highlights the essential water management infrastructure of the era, specifically the San Clemente Dam and Los Padres Dam, which illustrate the valley's role in regional water resources. Historical landmarks such as the Holman Ranch and Tularcitos School reflect the established local culture of the 1950s.
