1959 Map of Surf

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Vandenberg Air Force Base dominates the northern coastal terrace of this Santa Barbara County landscape, situated where the Santa Ynez River meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal region is defined by its transition from military and industrial infrastructure to rural agriculture. Along the Southern Pacific rail line, small settlements and sidings like Surf, Baroda, and La Salle illustrate the transportation network that served both the military installations and local farmers. To the south, the US Naval Missile Facility Point Arguello occupies the high ground of Lompoc Terrace. Significant historical sites are noted, including Lompoc Landing (Site) on the northern bluffs and the Artesia School set amidst a grid of rural roads like Central Ave and Artesia Ave, where agricultural wells and radio towers punctuate the coastal plain.
