"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 photo.
