1904 Map of Ventura

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Ventura and the Ojai Valley anchor this coastal survey, which captures the region during a period of agricultural and early resort development. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Pacific Ocean coastline to the high peaks of the Pine Mountains and the Santa Barbara National Forest. Along the shore, the Southern Pacific railroad follows the narrow shelf between the surf and the hills, passing through coastal points like Punta Gorda and Seacliff. Inland, the Ventura River serves as a primary corridor, connecting the coast to the interior canyon settlements of Oakview and Matilija. Large land grants, including the Ex Mission San Buenaventura and Canada de San Miguelito, reflect the area's transition from massive Spanish and Mexican ranchos to more fragmented development. Landmarks like Vickers Hot Springs highlight the era's growing interest in tourism and natural mineral springs.
