USGS Topo · Published 1923About this map
Los Angeles River and Rio Hondo define the landscape of this region during a period of rapid development and agricultural transition. The map records a dense network of early suburban gridiron streets in Maywood and Bell, contrasting with the more open acreage of the County Farm and the scattered ranchos of Santa Gertrudes. The influence of the nascent petroleum industry is evidenced by the Rio Grande Oil Co facilities near Vinevale.
