1949 Map of Villa Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Los Padres National Forest dominates the steep coastal terrain along this stretch of the Central Coast, where the land drops sharply into the Pacific Ocean. The geography is defined by narrow drainages like Redwood Gulch and Villa Creek that cut through the ridges toward a rocky shoreline marked by kelp beds and sand deposits. Much of the inland area falls within the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, established in the early 1940s, creating a restricted landscape that has preserved the area from significant development. The map meticulously documents the Reservation Boundary and various coastal features, such as Alder Creek, providing a detailed look at the interface between federal forest land and military holdings shortly after World War II.
