1959 Map of Point Arguello

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Vandenberg Air Force Base and the U S Naval Missile Facility Point Arguello dominate this coastal section of Santa Barbara County during the Cold War era. The map details a landscape transitioning from traditional ranching and agriculture to high-tech military defense, evidenced by the presence of a Radio Tower (KNEZ) and the Branch U S Disciplinary Barracks. The Southern Pacific railroad follows the shoreline past small stops like Surf, Honda, and Arlight, while the historic Lompoc Landing (Site) marks an earlier era of maritime activity.
