1948 Map of San Luis Rey

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Mission San Luis Rey De Francia and the adjacent Academy of the Little Flower stand as prominent cultural landmarks in this late 1940s landscape, illustrating the deep-rooted religious and educational history of the valley. The coastal corridor is defined by the rapid growth of Oceanside and Carlsbad, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Coast Highway parallel the Pacific shoreline. Inland, the transition from coastal bluffs to higher elevations like Cerro de la Calavera and San Francisco Pk reveals a mix of land uses, from the extensive Camp Joseph H Pendleton Naval Reservation in the north to the abandoned clay pits further south. Notable civic features including the Rosicrucian Hospital and Buddy Todd Memorial Park highlight the mid-century development of these seaside communities.
