2018 Map of Santa Maria

About this map

Santa Maria and its surrounding agricultural valley appear here during a period of sustained urban expansion and institutional growth. The map illustrates a dense street grid that has moved well beyond the historic core, reaching toward the industrial and transit hubs at Midco and Rosemary. The southern reaches are defined by the expansive Santa Maria Public Airport, a landmark that reflects the region's aviation history and its role as a regional transportation center. Education and community life are anchored by the Allan Hancock College campus and the Santa Barbara Business College Santa Maria, while the northern boundary is marked by the wide, sandy bed of the Santa Maria River. This survey captures the transition from open ranch land to a structured municipal landscape, with smaller named localities like Pacer and Rex situated along the peripheral rail and road corridors that serve the valley's economy.
