1935 Map of Tustin

About this map

The citrus groves and ranching estates of Orange County are documented here in detail, showing a landscape defined by the expansive Irvine Ranch Headquarters and the early growth of Tustin. Long before the postwar suburban boom, the region was an agricultural heartland organized around the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad. The map captures the small-town character of Santa Ana and the rural post office at Delhi (Gloryetta PO), alongside industrial and recreational markers like Martins Landing Field and numerous private sporting locations including the San Joaquin Gun Club. From the developed streets of Tustin Union High School to the dry watercourses of Peters Canyon Wash, the layout reveals the transition from the rugged San Joaquin Hills to the fertile coastal plain.
