1952 Map of Matilija

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Ventura River corridor dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a path between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the valley floors of Meiners Oaks and Ojai. The presence of the Matilija Dam and its adjacent Matilija Spillway underscores the hydraulic management of the era, feeding into a network of canyons like Rice Canyon and Wills Canyon. This period shows a transition from agricultural ranching to established residential communities, evidenced by the clustered developments of Live Oak Acres, Oak View, and the hillside neighborhood of Mira Monte.
