1951 Map of Point Dume

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Santa Monica Mountains dominate this 1950s landscape, where winding canyon roads like the Mulholland Highway connect isolated mountain communities and coastal retreats. This era captures the area before the era of intensive suburban development, showcasing a network of private clubs and seasonal destinations like the Malibu Lake Mtn Club and Seminole Hot Springs. Along the coast, the topography drops sharply toward the Pacific Ocean, defined by landmarks such as Point Dume and the established Zuma Beach County Park. Local life is anchored by small inland settlements like Cornell, home to the Cornell Sch, while newer coastal developments like Malibu Riviera and Malibu Vista suggest the growing appeal of the shoreline. The map reveals a transition from ranching heritage at Kincaid Ranch to a recreation-based economy centered around Malibu Lake and the various beaches.
