1941 Map of Las Bolsas

About this map

Seal Beach and Sunset Beach define the coastal character of this Orange County survey, prepared by the Corps of Engineers shortly before the American entry into World War II. The landscape is a transition between the developing shoreline and the agricultural wetlands further inland, where the Pacific Electric railroad tracks parallel the coast. Large tracts of marshland are occupied by the Sunset Gun Club and Bolsa Chica Gun Club, highlighting the era's reliance on the natural wetlands for recreation before mid-century development.
