1950 Map of Point Dume

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains dominate this coastal landscape, where deep canyons like Zuma Canyon and Trancas Canyon cut through the high ridges toward the Pacific Ocean. Settlement patterns in the mid-century reflect a mix of rural ranching and early canyon communities, including the Kincaid Ranch and the established Malibu Lake Mtn Club near Cornell. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Mulholland Highway, which winds through the peaks past the Castro Pk Lookout 2824 and down toward the coastal developments.
