1948 Map of Point Sal

About this map

Point Sal anchors this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the deep hydrography of the Pacific Ocean. Compiled just after the war, the map documents a strategic shoreline dominated by defense interests, including the Point Sal Military Reservation and the northern reaches of the Camp Cooke Military Reservation. The terrain transitions from the dunes of Guadalupe into the prominent elevations of the Casmalia Hills and the steep Point Sal Ridge.
