1949 Map of Wunpost

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Salinas River carves a wide path through the southern Salinas Valley, flanked by the intense canyon-and-ridge systems of the Central Coast ranges. In the late 1940s, the small settlement of Wunpost served as a key point on the Southern Pacific rail line, which runs parallel to the river and Us 101. Industrial infrastructure is represented by Getty Siding, while aviation history is marked by Rosenberg Airfield on the valley floor. The map documents the complex topography of the San Bernardo (Soberanes) land grant, where deep incisions like Sargent Canyon, Sheep Canyon, and Walker Canyon drain toward the river. These features, along with local landmarks like Semas Mountain, illustrate a landscape defined by its ranching heritage and the critical transportation corridor connecting California's coastal communities.
