1948 Map of Rancho Santa Fe

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Rancho Santa Fe and the surrounding coastal canyons of San Diego County are captured here in the late 1940s, showcasing a landscape defined by historic land grants and early citrus-era development. The map details the transition from the high peaks of Double Peak and Mt. Whitney down through the winding San Elijo Canyon toward the Pacific. Settlement patterns are concentrated around established hubs like Olivenhain and the planned community of Rancho Santa Fe, while more rural outposts like Harmony Grove and Fairbanks Ranch sit amidst a network of private estates and agricultural valleys.
