1953 Map of Del Mar

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The coastal communities of Solana Beach and Del Mar define this early 1950s landscape, where the Southern California shoreline meets a complex system of canyons and mesas. The Santa Fe railroad tracks hug the coast, passing the famous Del Mar Race Track and the nearby Del Mar Airport. Inland, the terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Gonzales Canyon and Carmel Valley, which separate the flat expanses of Del Mar Mesa and Kearny Mesa.
