1949 Map of El Toro

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The El Toro Naval Air Station Reservation dominates the landscape of southern Orange County in the late 1940s, providing a focal point of infrastructure amid the sprawling ranchlands and canyon topography. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply into the Lomas de Santiago and the Cleveland National Forest, where features like the Sinks and the Bolero Lookout mark the transition from the coastal plain to the Santa Ana Mountains. This era captures the region before the massive suburban expansion of later decades, showing the original settlement of El Toro and the El Toro Cem adjacent to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks.
