1934 Map of Adobe

About this map

Antelope Valley spreads across this 1930s survey, documenting a transitional landscape on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. Developed from data furnished by Los Angeles County and surveyor J. E. Rockhold, the map reveals a geometric grid of early roads like Avenue B and Avenue C cutting through the high desert. The topography is dominated by the prominent rise of Adobe Mountain in the south, while the eastern portion of the sheet remains largely open, designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area. This record is particularly valuable for its depiction of the county line shared with Kern and San Bernardino, capturing the early infrastructure of the region before mid-century expansion.
