1932 Map of Angle

About this map

Antelope Valley defines the western half of this 1930s topographic study, a region of High Desert terrain marked by the convergence of the Los Angeles Co and San Bernardino Co boundaries. The map reveals a stark contrast between surveyed and unsurveyed lands during the early twentieth century, with the eastern portion designated as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area. Human footprint in this arid landscape is sparse, represented primarily by a single Well and the long east-west line of the First Standard Parallel North. This document captures the transition from raw desert frontier to an organized territorial grid, overseen by surveyors F.K. Van Zandt and J.E. Rockhold. The precise five-foot contour intervals provide a detailed record of the alluvial fans and subtle elevations as the valley floor slopes toward the San Gabriel range foothills.
