1948 Map of Templeton

About this map

The Salinas River corridor defines this Central Coast landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the valley floor connecting Templeton and Paso Robles. Mapped in the late 1940s and updated in the 1970s, the terrain reveals a transition from the agricultural operations of Poultry Farms and Quarries to the early residential expansion of Atascadero. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Trinity Ch and the Templeton Cem, while the presence of the Bethel Sch (Abandoned) suggests the shifting rural school districts of the era.
