1903 Map of La Jolla

About this map

Coastal mesas and deeply incised canyons define the topography of San Diego just after the turn of the century. The Southern California Surf Line traces the shoreline from Del Mar through Soledad Valley, serving as the primary link between these growing seaside communities and the heart of North San Diego. Inland, the landscape transitions from the developed grids of Pacific Beach and Morena to the agricultural reaches of the San Diego Valley, where the Ex Mission San Diego stands near Grantville.
