1959 Map of Casmalia

About this map

Vandenberg Air Force Base dominates this coastal landscape, sprawling across the San Antonio Terrace and down toward the Pacific Ocean. This 1959 survey, updated with revisions from the late 1970s, captures a transitional era for the central California coast where military operations and oil extraction began to define the land use. The Southern Pacific railroad tracks trace the coastline, connecting small stops and industrial sites like Narlon, Tangair, and Schumann.
