1901 Map of San Luis Rey

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Santa Margarita Las Flores and the coastal terrain of Northern San Diego County are captured here during a pivotal era of early rail expansion. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Santa Margarita River and San Luis Rey River, which carved the deep canyons and valleys that directed the path of human settlement. The arrival of the California Southern RR and the Surf Line transformed the region, linking coastal outposts like Oceanside and Carlsbad to the interior ranch lands and the burgeoning community of Escondido.
