1948 Map of Las Pulgas Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Camp Joseph H Pendleton Naval Reservation dominates this coastal landscape just after the Second World War, illustrating the rapid transition from historic ranching lands to a primary military training ground. The shoreline along the Gulf of Santa Catalina remains relatively open, punctuated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Coast Highway which parallel the Pacific. Interior canyons like Las Pulgas Canyon and Aliso Canyon cut through the steep terrain between San Onofre Mountain and the coastal bluffs.
