1965 Map of Oceano

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The coastal dunes of Pismo Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area dominate the western edge of this landscape, separating the Pacific Ocean from a chain of freshwater bodies including Black Lake and Oso Flaco Lake. Inland, the economy of the mid-1960s is evidenced by the presence of an Oil Refinery near Callender and the Southern Pacific railroad line connecting the communities of Grover Beach, Oceano, and Halcyon. Residential growth is visible through multiple mobile home parks and the established streets of Arroyo Grande. Significant terrain features like the Nipomo Mesa and Newsom Ridge overlook the fertile Cienega Valley, while local landmarks such as the Halcyon Cemetery and Black Lake Golf Course provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogical research.
