About this map

The Santa Maria Valley Railroad cuts through a landscape defined by rapid mid-century growth and a deep-rooted petroleum economy. This era shows the urban expansion of Santa Maria pushing south and east, with a distinct purple tint marking the development added between the original 1959 survey and the 1982 update. The city center is densely packed with local institutions like Allan Hancock College, the County Fairgrounds, and numerous neighborhood schools such as Alvin Ave School and Cook St School.
