1948 Map of Morro Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Camp Joseph H Pendleton Naval Reservation dominates this coastal San Diego County landscape, captured during its mid-century expansion following World War II. The map details a military-industrial infrastructure transitioning into a permanent fixture of the region, featuring the Naval Hospital beside O'Neill Lake and the extensive Supply Depot near the coast. The transport corridor is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which services key points like Home Ranch Siding and Ysidora. Beyond the military cantonments, the terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Aliso Canyon and Pueblitos Canyon, while the Santa Margarita River winds through the heart of the reservation. Smaller civilian-associated sites like Camp De Luz and Home Ranch provide glimpses into the ranching heritage that preceded and coexisted with the naval installation.
