1942 Map of Poway Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Poway and its surrounding canyonlands appear here just as the region began to transition from a rural ranching landscape to a strategic military and residential corridor during the early 1940s. The settlement of Scripps Ranch is visible in the southwest, situated along the dissected terrain of Carroll Canyon. A distinctive wartime feature is the Emergency Landing Field located west of the ranch, reflecting the increased aviation activity near Miramar during this era.
