1922 Map of Nipomo

About this map

The Nipomo area at the edge of the Santa Barbara National Forest reveals a landscape defined by ranching and rural education just after the First World War. Local life centered on family holdings like Adams Ranch and Porter Ranch, supported by a network of one-room schoolhouses including the Huasna School and Suey Creek School. The transport corridor in the southwest corner is particularly active, showing the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Coast Ry running parallel through the Nipomo Valley.
