=======================================

Need a map of San Luis Obispo county back roads?  Try this 1958 version - it has more detail than most of the current maps.  Yes there are some landmarks missing (Lake San Antonio, Lopez Lake) and a few places that don't exist anymore (Pleyto).  But the roads are remarkably the same.  (Big file!)
