1959 Map of Guadalupe

About this map

Guadalupe serves as the central hub of this coastal agricultural landscape, situated just south of the San Luis Obispo Co Santa Barbara Co line. The Santa Maria Valley dominates the northern half of the sheet, where extensive oil infrastructure, including the Oil Field and numerous individual oil wells, sits alongside established civic features like City Hall and the Joint Union School. The transport of sugar beets and livestock is evident through the industrial clustering at Betteravia, featuring the Betteravia Stockyards and Carr Scale along the Southern Pacific rail lines.
