1959 Map of Tranquillon Mountain

About this map

The U S Naval Missile Facility occupies the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, situated along the rugged Santa Barbara shoreline where the Santa Ynez Mountains meet the sea. This 1950s survey documents a critical transition in land use, as the expansive Sudden Flats and various traditional ranching areas were increasingly defined by federal defense infrastructure. The coastline is marked by significant landmarks including Point Arguello and Punta de la Concepcion, which have long served as navigational anchors for Pacific maritime traffic.
