1903 Map of La Jolla

About this map

The Southern California R. R. follows the coastline through Delmar and down the Soledad Valley in this turn-of-the-century portrait of coastal San Diego. Early ranching and agricultural life are evident in the vast Pueblo Lands of San Diego and the scattered settlements of Lindavista, Miramar, and Sorrento. The map documents the region's geography before mid-century suburbanization, showing the original footprints of Old Town and North San Diego near the mouth of the San Diego River.
