1904 Map of Southern California Sheet No. 2

About this map

San Diego is the focal point of this coastal landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century, anchored by the Pueblo Lands of San Diego and the bustling port area. The map illustrates a region transitioning from grand rancho estates like Santa Margarita y Las Flores and Monserate to established coastal towns connected by the Southern California RR. Moving north, the rail line links settlements such as Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, following the shoreline past landmarks like San Mateo Pt. toward San Juan Capistrano.
