1995 Map of Azusa

About this map

The San Gabriel Wilderness and Angeles National Forest dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1990s survey, where steep canyons like Fish Canyon and Roberts Canyon drop sharply toward the urbanized San Gabriel Valley. The southern portion of the map captures the dense development of Azusa, Duarte, and Monrovia just before the turn of the millennium. This era shows the critical infrastructure managing the region's water and geography, from the Morris Reservoir on the San Gabriel River to the massive Santa Fe Flood Control Basin. Educational and medical institutions serve as local anchors, including the sprawling City of Hope National Medical Center and Azusa Pacific University. The presence of the Metrolink rail line and major thoroughfares like Foothill Blvd highlights the transportation network connecting these foothill communities to the broader Los Angeles basin.
