1950 Map of Newbury Park

About this map

Conejo Valley sits at the heart of this survey, which captures the region's mid-century transformation as residential footprints began to overlay the older ranching and agricultural landscape. The 1950 field check shows a sparsely developed corridor along Ventura Blvd, including the Newbury Park Academy and the rural Santa Rosa School. A notable 1967 revision, shown in purple, documents the rapid expansion of Newbury Park and the development of Mountclef Village, signaling the area's shift into a more suburban character. The landscape is defined by the surrounding heights of the Santa Monica Mountains and Mount Clef Ridge, with transportation and utility infrastructure like the Rancho Conejo Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and an Airway Beacon serving the growing community. In the southern reaches, Hidden Valley remains largely open, contrasting with the emerging lakeside settlement at Lake Sherwood.
