1944 Map of Calabasas
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The San Fernando Valley meets the high ridges of the Santa Monica Mountains in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape poised between ranching history and suburban expansion. While the valley floor is defined by a grid of citrus groves and early streets like Roscoe Blvd and Victory Blvd connecting Canoga Park to Tarzana, the southern highlands remain largely wild. Named properties such as Platt Ranch, Stunt Ranch, and Trippet Ranch mark the transition from the rugged canyons to the coastal bluffs. The Southern Pacific railroad skirts the northern edge near Chatsworth, while the winding course of the Mulholland Highway traces the mountain spines above Sylvia Park and Fernwood. Coastal life is captured along the Pacific Ocean shoreline, where the Castle Rock Beach and Malibu Beach settlements sit at the mouths of steep drainages like Topanga Creek.
