1959 Map of Casmalia
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Vandenberg Air Force Base dominates the southern half of this Santa Barbara County landscape, where military operations overlap with the historic ranching and oil legacies of the Central Coast. The Southern Pacific railroad line winds through the Casmalia Hills, connecting rail stops at Casmalia, Shuman, and Narlon along the way. To the north, the Casmalia Oil Field and the Airox Mine reveal the industrial footprint of the mid-20th century. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the Pacific Ocean coastline at Lions Head and Purisima Point to the high Sand Dunes and the broad San Antonio Terrace. The interior reveals a mix of old land grants and modern facilities, including the Marshalla Ranch golf course and the drainage of San Antonio Creek.
