1967 Map of Poway

About this map

Poway and the surrounding canyons of inland San Diego County are captured here during a significant period of suburban expansion. The map reflects the early footprint of Scripps Ranch and the residential growth near Miramar Reservoir, which includes the infrastructure of a filtration plant and spillway. This 1967 survey, updated with purple photorevisions from 1975, highlights the evolving boundary between the rural past and the modern city, particularly where the San Bernardo (Snook) Grant meets the growing residential blocks. Educational and community institutions like Poway High Sch, Meadowbrook Intermediate Sch, and Dearborn Memorial Park serve as central landmarks for the developing community. To the south, the massive footprint of the Miramar Naval Air Station and the U S Naval Res occupy the rugged terrain of Carroll Canyon and San Clemente Canyon, illustrating the era's dominant military presence in the region.
