1963 Map of Redondo Beach

About this map

Santa Monica Bay defines the western edge of this coastal survey, where the deep bathymetry of Redondo Canyon cuts toward the shoreline. The map documents the intensive suburban development of the South Bay and Palos Verdes Peninsula during the early 1960s, with purple revision tints from the 1970s showing the rapid expansion of residential tracts in Rolling Hills Estates and Palos Verdes Estates. Along the coast, the engineering of King Harbor and the presence of submarine pipelines near Hermosa Beach underscore the era's marine infrastructure.
