1951 Map of Ventura

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The coastal shelf and steep canyons of Ex Mission San Buenaventura reveal a mid-century landscape where petroleum extraction and civic growth meet the Pacific. Centered on the city of Ventura, the survey traces the industrial corridor along the Ventura River, where numerous Oil Wells dot the slopes of Red Mountain and Cañada de San Miguelito. The influence of the Southern Pacific railroad is evident, connecting small settlements like Casitas Springs, Weldons, and Wadstrom to the urban core.
