1949 Map of Wunpost

About this map

The Salinas River carves a broad valley floor through this portion of Monterey County, serving as the primary corridor for both the Southern Pacific railroad and local settlement. The small community of Wunpost and the industrial landmark of Getty Siding are positioned along the tracks, highlighting the importance of the rail line to the local economy during the late 1940s. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Rosenberg Airfield on the western terrace above the river valley.
