1941 Map of Ventura

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Ventura River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this 1941 survey, connecting the coastal city of Ventura to the inland communities of Ojai and Meiners Oaks. The map reveals a landscape defined by historic land grants like the Ex Mission San Buenaventura and Canada de San Miguelito, as well as the early tourism economy centered around thermal waters at Matilija Hot Springs and Lyons Hot Springs. Coastal infrastructure is dominated by the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Rincon Sea Level Road, which skirt the edges of the Santa Barbara Channel beneath steep elevations like Rincon Mt. The inclusion of family-named agricultural sites such as Schafer Farm and Hi Park Ranch provides valuable data for genealogists tracing mid-century property ownership in the area.
