1948 Map of Escondido

About this map

Escondido sits at the northern edge of this late-1940s landscape, centered on a grid of streets including Grand Avenue and North Tulip Street. The town's educational infrastructure is well-defined by the Union High Sch and Union Elementary Schools, while the local economy and agriculture are represented by the long-standing Bernardo Winery. To the south, the massive Lake Hodges dominates the terrain, created by a complex system of water management including Santa Ysabel Creek and various structures like Dam 382.
