1948 Map of Estrella

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Estrella River and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape in the late 1940s, where seasonal waterways like Huerhuero Creek and Dry Creek cut through a series of prominent canyons. The land use here reflects a transition between mid-century ranching and emerging infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Paso Robles-San Luis Obispo County Airport and a nearby Airstrip. Rural life is anchored by small community centers and educational landmarks such as Pleasant Valley Sch, Union Sch, and Phillips Sch. A network of windmills across Hog Canyon and Keyes Canyon reveals the era's reliance on groundwater for agriculture and livestock. Settlement is concentrated at Whitley Gardens and Estrella, with evidence of early energy exploration indicated by an Oil well near the southern border.
