About this map

Point Mugu Naval Reservation dominates the western coastal flats where the Rio De Santa Clara meets the salt marshes of the Mugu Lagoon. This 1950 edition shows a landscape defined by the sharp transition between the military presence on the plain and the wilder slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains. Coastal travelers of the era navigated the winding Roosevelt Highway as it hugged the shoreline beneath Point Mugu, passing a solitary quarry and several family-named landmarks like Laguna Point. The interior terrain is deeply etched by canyons such as Big Sycamore Canyon and Serrano Canyon, where small springs and a windmill indicate the scattered infrastructure of the foothill valleys. To the north, the agrarian influence is visible in the Duck Ponds and the irrigation network surrounding Calleguas Creek.
