About this map

The Orange County coastline during the mid-1930s is defined by a complex network of wetlands and tidal inlets between Long Beach and Huntington Beach. Extensive salt marshes and water bodies like Anaheim Bay and Bolsa Chica Bay dominate the landscape, providing the setting for numerous private sporting preserves such as the Sunset Gun Club and Bolsa Chica Gun Club. This era shows the coastal area before the massive residential developments of the late 20th century, with small settlements like Wintersburg and Sunset Beach clustered near the transit corridors.
