1968 Map of Dana Point

About this map

San Juan Capistrano and the developing southern California coastline appear here as they were during a period of rapid suburban expansion in the late 1960s and mid-1970s. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, from the winding Pacific Coast Highway to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. Significant coastal developments like the Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach are clearly defined, showing the area's transition toward a leisure and residential economy.
