1949 Map of Morro Hill

About this map

Camp Joseph H Pendleton Naval Reservation dominates this coastal landscape shortly after World War II, showcasing the rapid development of military infrastructure in San Diego County. The map details a sophisticated network of logistical and medical facilities, including the sprawling Naval Hospital near O'Neill Lake and a massive Supply Depot served by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Pueblitos Canyon and Aliso Canyon, with the Santa Margarita River and San Luis Rey River carving through the reservation grounds. Smaller settlements and sidings like Camp De Luz, Jofegan, and Home Ranch Siding provide evidence of the area's mixed heritage, where earlier ranching operations transitioned into essential support points for the naval facility.
