1896 Map of Las Bolsas

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Anaheim Landing serves as the primary coastal point of entry on this late 19th-century survey of the Orange County shoreline. The landscape is defined by its extensive marshlands and water systems, including the meandering paths of Anaheim Creek and Bolsas Creek. Large Spanish-named land divisions such as Los Alamitos and La Bolsa Chica characterize the regional geography before modern urban development. A single Drainage Ditch in the eastern portion of the map hints at early efforts to manage the wetlands for agricultural or residential use. To the south, the small settlement of Las Bolsas and the landmark of Landing Hill provide terrestrial reference points against the vast Pacific Ocean.
