Aerial view of Malibu, Birchwood Gardens land c. 1958
Lining this up with a modern map, I think the thicker, vertical line (middle of the highlighted area) would be Caren Drive.. and the east-west line that cuts thru the word 'Malibu' is Edinburgh Dr.

Malibu neighborhood was constructed in the early 6os, with construction centered around Malibu Dr and the tropical streets Mango, Coconut, etc. In 1963 Malibu Elementary opened, the surrounding neighborhood reached it's peak of young families in 1974 (Malibu Elementary's largest recorded student body. Source 2018 Historic Architectural Resource Survey Update ).

1988 retirement of Malibu Elementary's principal (Mr. Prine).

Coral monolith that once advertised Malibu subdivision..
