USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Industrial corridors and growing residential tracts define this 1930s landscape south of Los Angeles, where the Los Angeles River and Rio Hondo carve through the plains. The map captures a critical era of transport and industry, featuring the Rio Grande Oil Refinery and the massive Brickyard near Simons. The region is a dense network of transit, from the Pacific Electric lines to the heavy rails of the Union Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR.
