1953 Map of Del Mar

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Coastal development along U S Highway 101 and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor defines this mid-century landscape. This survey documents the transition of the northern San Diego coast before the arrival of modern interstate highways, showing the established communities of Solana Beach and Del Mar alongside more isolated outposts like Eden Gardens and Sorrento. The presence of the Soledad School and Sorrento PO near the intersection of Soledad Valley and Carmel Valley highlights the historical hubs of local life.
