Orange Anaheim California Vintage USGS Topographic Map 1970

This USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle, a 1964 edition printed in 1970, is in good condition on thick stock. The sheet depicts a dense swath of northern Orange County, taking in Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Placentia, and Tustin, along with communities including Villa Park, Orange Park Acres, Cowan Heights, and Lemon Heights in the foothill margins to the east; Yorba Linda and Irvine fall near or at the sheet’s edges. For anyone researching mid-century Southern California suburbanization, this map documents the region as it looked in 1964, when the buildout of these cities was still actively underway.
