1950 Map of Point Dume

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains dominate this 1950 coastal survey, capturing the early development of the Malibu shoreline before it became a dense residential enclave. Near the coast, the planned development at Malibu Riviera and the small cluster at Malibu Vista stand in contrast to the expansive Kincaid Ranch and the open stretches of Zuma County Park. Inland, the geography is defined by deep canyons such as Zuma Canyon and Escondido Canyon, leading up to prominent peaks like Saddle Rock and the Castro Pk Lookout. This era reveals a transition from traditional ranching and seasonal resort life to more permanent canyon communities. The presence of Seminole Hot Springs and Lake Enchanto near the town of Cornell illustrates the region's mid-century identity as a destination for leisure, centered around the Malibu Lake (Mtn Club) and its surrounding hills.
