1949 Map of Point Mugu

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Pacific Missile Range and the expansive Mugu Lagoon dominate this coastal survey, where the agricultural flats of the Rio De Santa Clara meet the western edge of the Santa Monica Mts. This area, managed under the Guadalasca land grant, shows the early military footprint on the Ventura coastline just after World War II. The terrain transitions sharply from the wetland Duck Ponds and winding Calleguas Creek to the high ridges of Laguna Pk and Mugu Pk. Along the shoreline, the Pacific Coast Highway skirts the base of steep cliffs, passing landmarks like the Trailer Court and a Quarry. Geographers can trace the relationship between the sheltered estuary and the rising interior canyons, including La Jolla Canyon and Sycamore Canyon, providing a clear record of the landscape before significant late-20th-century development.
