About this map

The El Toro Naval Air Station Reservation dominates the southwestern lowlands of this mid-century Orange County landscape, appearing here just years after its wartime expansion. This sprawling military facility is bisected by the Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe railroad and surrounded by citrus groves and agricultural tracts like Serrano Place. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply into the Lomas de Santiago and the foothills of the Cleveland National Forest, where canyon life is centered around the settlements of Silverado and Modjeska.
