About this map

The Santa Maria River forms a natural boundary between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties as it flows toward the Pacific coast. This 1942 military survey by the Corps of Engineers illustrates a coastal landscape defined by the agricultural expansion of the Santa Maria Valley and the steep topography of the Casmalia Hills. Significant early twentieth-century infrastructure is visible, including the sugar beet refining hub at Betteravia and the coastal path of the Southern Pacific railroad, which services small settlements like Narlon and Schumann.
