1950 Map of Pitas Point

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The coastal settlement of Punta anchors this 1950 field-checked survey of the Ventura County shoreline. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Santa Ynez foothills down to the Pacific Ocean, where the Santa Barbara Channel meets the California coast. Transportation and industry dominate the narrow strip between the mountains and the sea, with the Southern Pacific Railroad and a primary highway following the natural curve of the land. Inland, the terrain is carved by seasonal drainages such as Los Sauces Creek and Rincon Cr, which cut through the hills near a local Spring. The map reveals a mid-century coastal economy where oil extraction and transit infrastructure were integrated into the immediate geography of the bluff-side corridor.
