1961 Map of Paso Robles

About this map

The Salinas River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1961 survey, where the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the water through the growing hubs of Paso Robles and Templeton. The map captures a transitional moment for the region’s rural landscape, documenting numerous small schoolhouses like Union Sch and Phillips Sch alongside newer developments such as the Paso Robles County Airport. To the north, the Camp Roberts Military Reservation borders the historical site of the San Miguel Arcangel Mission, while the inland valleys are shaped by the Estrella River.
