1948 Map of Templeton

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks anchor the landscape of this Central Coast corridor, following the course of the Salinas River as it flows north through several historic land grants. The map documents the sprawling boundaries of the Paso de Robles Grant, Santa Ysabel Grant, and Asuncion Grant, reflecting the region's ranching heritage. While Paso Robles and Atascadero mark the north and south, the community of Templeton serves as a central hub, flanked by the Templeton Cem and local infrastructure like the Drive-in Theater.
