1897 Map of San Luis Obispo
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
The Southern Pacific Line dictates the settlement pattern of this Central Coast landscape, threading through the mountains at Cuesta Pass to connect the growing city of San Luis Obispo with northern ranching outposts. This 1895 survey illustrates a transitional era where massive Mexican land grants, such as Canada De Los Osos and Potrero De San Luis Obispo, still define the geography alongside the newer rail-stop settlements of Goldtree and Santa Margarita.
