1950 Map of Malibu Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Santa Monica Mountains canyons and the Pacific shoreline define this mid-century landscape just before the era of major coastal expansion. The map details a period when private ranches like Century Ranch, Brown Ranch, and Stunts Ranch occupied significant acreage alongside institutional sites like the Salvation Army Camp and Serra Retreat. Along the coast, the Pacific Coast Highway connects a string of beaches including Carbon Beach and La Costa Beach, while the interior remains defined by the rugged drainage of Malibu Creek.
