1941 Map of Ventura

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Ventura coastline and the inland Ojai Valley are captured here during the early 1940s, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic topography and historic land grants. Along the shore, the Southern Pacific railroad and the Rincon Sea Level Road track the Pacific edge past Punta Gorda and Sea Cliff. Inland, the map details the rugged Santa Ynez Mountains and the canyons of the Los Padres National Forest. The presence of several resorts, including Matilija Hot Springs and Sopers Hot Springs, underscores the region's historic role as a destination for health and recreation. Cultural markers like Hi Park Ranch and Schafer Farm indicate a rural economy tied to the land, while the complex of "Cañadas" such as Canada Larga and Canada de San Miguelito preserves the nomenclature of earlier Spanish and Mexican land divisions.
