1949 Map of Oxnard

About this map

The coastal plains of the Santa Clara Valley are defined by a mix of agricultural heritage and rapid mid-century expansion. This map illustrates the convergence of transportation and industry, with the Southern Pacific and Ventura County Railway serving the bustling center of Oxnard. Near the coast, the Naval Reservation and the deep-water facilities at Port Hueneme mark the era's significant military and maritime presence. Historical land divisions are still visible through the boundaries of San Miguel (Olivas and Lorenzana) and Santa Clara Del Norte, preserving the layout of earlier ranchos.
