About this map

Seal Beach and Huntington Beach anchor the coastline of this wartime survey, showing the Orange County shoreline before the post-war housing boom. The landscape is dominated by the extensive wetlands of Bolsa Chica and a network of water management features including the Las Bolsas Ditch and Bolsa Ditch. These marshlands were then occupied by private sporting estates such as the Sunset Gun Club and the Bolsa Chica Gun Club, highlighting the area's transition from wildlife habitat to managed recreation.
