1942 Map of Hueneme

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Rio De Santa Clara and the coastal plain of Ventura County are depicted here during the early years of American involvement in World War II. The landscape is dominated by the grid of Oxnard and the emerging infrastructure of Port Hueneme, which was undergoing rapid development as a naval construction battalion base. Local transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of agricultural thoroughfares like Hueneme Road and Pleasant Valley Road. To the east, the Santa Monica Mountains rise abruptly, featuring landmarks such as the Camarillo State Hospital and St Johns Seminary. Small coastal enclaves including Silver Strand, Hollywood by the Sea, and Mandalay Beach illustrate the early residential development of the shoreline, while the Ventura County Airport and Sucrosa Airport mark the era's expanding aviation footprint.
