1951 Map of Moorpark

About this map

Simi Valley is anchored by the hub of Moorpark in the early 1950s, where the Southern Pacific railroad lines track through the basin alongside Los Angeles Ave. The landscape transitions from the agricultural flats near Somis and Moorpark Home Acres to the prominent heights of Oak Ridge and South Mountain. North of the valley floor, the terrain is cut by deep drainages like Grimes Canyon and Balcom Canyon, leading toward the Santa Clara River corridor. Local history details include the Bardsdale Cem, the Union High Sch, and small settlements such as Epworth and Fairview. Evidence of local industry is visible through a Gravel Pit and Rock Quarry, while various orchards and fields are irrigated by the waters of Arroyo Las Posas and Arroyo Simi.
