1968 Map of San Onofre Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base dominates the shoreline in this coastal survey, where military land use meets emerging industrial infrastructure during the late 1960s. The map captures the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station along the coast, a site that would become a landmark of the California coast's energy development. Parallel transportation corridors hug the narrow strip between the San Onofre Bluff and the sea, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the San Diego Freeway. To the east, the landscape transitions into the canyons and hills of the Santa Margarita y Las Flores Grant, with features like Cuate Hill and Las Flores Canyon rising above the Pacific. The inclusion of hydrographic soundings in the Gulf of Santa Catalina provides a detailed record of the shelf bathymetry adjacent to San Onofre Beach.
