1949 Map of Oxnard

Coastal developments such as Hollywood by the Sea and Silver Strand highlight the era's residential growth along the Pacific Ocean. To the north, the Santa Clara River separates the city from older landmarks like the Old Olivas Adobe and the Ventura Municipal Golf Course. The map captures the complex rail network of the Southern Pacific and Ventura County Railway that supported the region's productive sugar beet and citrus industries before suburban tract housing became the dominant landscape feature.
