1978 USGS Topo Map: La Jolla, San Diego, California
$27
This is a 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic map of the La Jolla quadrangle, a 1967 edition revised in 1975 and printed in 1978 on thick paper with a green woodland tint marking vegetated areas. It covers part of San Diego’s northwestern coast, taking in La Jolla, the University City area, and the shoreline bluffs south toward Pacific Beach. The 1975 revision caught University City in mid-build, when UC San Diego and the surrounding neighborhoods were reshaping the mesa above La Jolla from open land into a planned community.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1967 edition of the La Jolla California USGS topographic map revised in 1975 using aerial photography. It is an original 48-year-old 1978 United States Geological Survey print in good condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The La Jolla 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.
A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1967 La Jolla map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
The map was photorevised in 1975. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1967 and the photorevision year of 1975 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
