1948 Map of San Luis Rey

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mission San Luis Rey De Francia and the adjacent Academy of the Little Flower anchor the northern valley where the San Luis Rey River meets the coastal plain. Just after the war, this portion of San Diego County reveals a landscape in transition, where legacy land grants like Rancho Guajome and Santa Margarita Y Las Flores border growing coastal hubs. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor strings together the settlements of Oceanside, South Oceanside, and Carlsbad, following the line of the Coast Highway. Inland, the terrain rises sharply into landmarks such as Cerro de la Calavera and Loma Alta Mountain. The map captures specialized land uses of the era, from the Oceanside Municipal Airport and Rosicrucian Hospital to industrial Silica Pits and the protected waters of the Buena Vista Lagoon.
