1997 Map of El Toro

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The El Toro Marine Corps Air Station dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, showing a dense network of runways, communication beacons, and military housing just before the facility's official decommissioning. This era captures the transition of the Lomas de Santiago foothills from an agricultural and ranching interior to a rapidly expanding suburban corridor. While the San Diego Freeway and Alton Parkway represent the modern transit infrastructure, older local sites like the Heritage Hill Historical Park and the El Toro Cem preserve the region's earlier heritage. Further inland, the map details the rugged boundary of the Cleveland National Forest, where the settlement of Modjeska and the Silverado Sch sit nestled among the canyons. This document provides a clear look at the intersection of defense industry, specialized agriculture at the South Coast Agriculture Field Station, and the residential growth of El Toro.
