1948 Map of Estrella

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Estrella Creek flows through this San Luis Obispo County landscape, defining a region of deep drainage systems including Hog Canyon, Eyes Canyon, and Freeman Canyon. Based on 1947 aerial photography, the map reveals a rural economy dependent on well-watered valleys and scattered infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Windmill labels dotting the hillsides. Educational hubs serve the agricultural community at Pleasant Valley Sch, Union Sch, and Phillips Sch, while the Paso Robles-San Luis Obispo County Airport and a nearby Airstrip at Hillman Ranch indicate the growing importance of aviation in the post-war era. Small settlements like Whitley Gardens and the community of Estrella appear alongside seasonal waterways such as Dry Creek and Huerhuero Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern tied closely to the intermittent hydrology of the Central Coast.
