1966 Map of Baldwin Park
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The San Gabriel River corridor and its massive industrial operations define this mid-1960s landscape, dominated by the Santa Fe Flood Control Basin and the Santa Fe Dam. This era shows the San Gabriel Valley during a period of intense suburban infill and heavy extraction, where sprawling residential grids in Baldwin Park and West Covina press directly against large active Gravel Pits and the Irwindale Siding. The map reveals the region's specialized institutions, from the Latin America Bible Institute near Bassett to the El Encanto Sanitarium in the Puente Hills. Transportation networks are in transition, with the San Bernardino Freeway and Pomona Freeway bisecting established routes like the Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific railroads. The specialized Industry (City of Industry PO) is clearly delineated, reflecting the post-war shift toward dedicated industrial municipalities.
