1968 Map of San Clemente

About this map

The coastal expansion of San Clemente during the late 1960s and mid-1970s is strikingly documented here, where residential growth pushes against the established boundaries of the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. Along the shoreline of the Gulf of Santa Catalina, the iconic San Clemente Pier and San Clemente State Beach serve as focal points for the community's seaside identity. Inland, the landscape is defined by deep canyons such as Talega Canyon and Blind Canyon, which carve through the Mission Viejo and Las Flores regions.
