1949 Map of San Luis Rey

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Mission San Luis Rey De Francia and the Academy of the Little Flower anchor the northern valley where the San Luis Rey River meets the coastal plain. In the years following the war, this coastal strip shows the rapid transition from ranching heritage to modern infrastructure, with the Oceanside Municipal Airport and Buddy Todd Memorial Park established near the growing town centers. The map details the northern reaches of Carlsbad and the sprawling Oceanside, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks run parallel to the Coast Highway. To the north, the massive Camp Joseph H Pendleton Naval Reservation occupies the historic Santa Margarita Y Las Flores grant, marking a major shift in land use from the earlier 19th-century rancho period to mid-century military operations.
