1950 Map of Seal Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Pacific Electric railway lines cut a diagonal path across this coastal landscape just after the war, connecting the beach communities of Seal Beach and Sunset Beach to the interior. The shoreline is defined by extensive wetlands and tidal marshes, including Anaheim Bay and Bolsa Bay, which remained largely undeveloped for recreation during this era. Instead, the area supported specialized land uses like the Naval Reservation and numerous private sporting organizations such as the Cazzadores Gun Club and Lomita Gun Club.
