"Camp Roberts, Santa Monica" : a
souvenir photographic picture.
The 42,768 acres that comprise Camp Roberts today have
long held encampments of soldiers. The early Native
American tribes of central California lived and hunted on
this land, and exploration detachments of the colonial
Spanish Army mounted scouting parties throughout the area.
Camp Roberts is located along US Highway 101, which
follows the old Mission Trail. Highway 101 is still often
referred to as “El Camino Real,” which translates from
Spanish to “the royal road” or “the King’s highway”.
This depicts, planes, soldiers homes and camp, by areal
