1968 Map of El Toro

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

El Toro Marine Corps Air Station dominates the central landscape of this late-1960s survey, surrounded by the shifting land use of mid-century Orange County. The map documents the expansion of suburban and military infrastructure against a backdrop of older rural life, visible in the orchards and the presence of the South Coast Agriculture Field Station. To the northeast, the terrain rises into the Lomas de Santiago and the Cleveland National Forest, where canyon settlements like Silverado and Modjeska mark the canyons of the Santa Ana Mountains. The transition from agricultural to industrial and residential use is signaled by the International Raceway and the development near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, while local history is preserved at the Ascension Cem and El Toro Cem.
