About this map

The Conejo Valley serves as the central corridor of this mid-century survey, illustrating the early stages of suburban expansion in southern Ventura County. Major development is concentrated around Newbury Park and the adjacent Ven-tu Park, with 1960s-era updates shown in purple highlighting the growth of residential and commercial districts. Education and community life are anchored by the Newbury Park Academy and the historic Timber Sch, while the northern landscape is dominated by the agricultural stretches of the Santa Rosa Valley and the Las Posas Hills.

To the south, the terrain transitions into the steep canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains, where the community of Lake Sherwood borders its namesake water body. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Los Robles Greens Country Club reflect the mid-century leisure culture emerging along the arterial Conejo Road. From the heights of Mount Clef Ridge to the depths of Big Sycamore Canyon, the map captures a landscape navigating between its ranching roots and a new suburban identity.
