1964 Map of Yorba Linda

About this map

Urban expansion and industrial development define this region during the mid-1960s and early 1970s, as shown by the extensive purple tinting over Yorba Linda, Placentia, and Fullerton. The map documents a landscape in transition, where residential blocks and golf courses like the Alta Vista Golf Club meet the working infrastructure of the Oil Field and the Robert Diemer Filtration Plant. To the north, the Puente Hills and Chino Hills provide a stark contrast to the valley floor, holding landmarks such as the Firestone Scout Reservation and La Vida Mineral Springs.
