1947 Map of San Luis Obispo

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range and the complex terrain of the Los Padres National Forest dominate this post-war landscape, where military installations and coastal settlements define the local geography. Significant land use is evident at the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation and Camp Roberts Military Reservation, reflecting the era's strategic importance for the Central Coast. Along the coast, small communities like Cambria, Cayucos, and Morro Bay sit between the Pacific and the mountains, while the Southern Pacific railroad provides a vital interior link through San Luis Obispo and up the Salinas River valley.
