1949 Map of San Onofre Bluff

About this map

Camp Pendleton Naval Reservation dominates this coastal landscape just south of the Orange County line, during a period of significant military expansion following the second World War. The map illustrates the narrow corridor of transit and infrastructure squeezed between the Pacific shoreline and the uplands of the Santa Margarita y Las Flores rancho. Key transportation arteries, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the four-lane Coast Highway, trace the base of the San Onofre Bluff. This survey captures the coastline before the mid-century development of major interstate systems, showing the isolated settlement of Agra and the largely undeveloped terrain overlooking the Gulf of Santa Catalina.
