1966 Map of Beverly Hills

About this map

The Univ of California at Los Angeles campus and the sprawling Veterans Administration Center anchor the central portion of this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant institutional and educational growth in West Los Angeles. To the north, the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains are marked by exclusive residential enclaves like Bel Air and Beverly Glen, centered around the Stone Canyon Res. The map documents the high-density development of Century City and the prestigious Beverly Hills blocks, where the Los Angeles Country Club provides a green buffer against the expanding grid. To the south and west, the landscape transitions from the industry of Oil Wells near Culver City to the coastal recreation of the Santa Monica Pier and the residential neighborhoods of Mar Vista and Palms, all connected by the rising prominence of the San Diego Freeway.
