1951 Map of Simi

About this map

The Simi Valley floor and surrounding foothills are captured here in a period of significant transition, reflecting both established agricultural roots and mid-century suburban expansion. Centered on the Southern Pacific rail line, the landscape is defined by the Arroyo Simi drainage and the towering heights of Oak Ridge and Big Mountain. To the west, the Virginia Colony and Moorpark settlements maintain a distinct presence, while the eastern Simi area shows the purple-tinted hallmarks of late-1960s growth, including new residential grids and several local schools like Simi Valley High Sch and Madera Sch.
