1952 Map of Calabasas
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Simi Hills and the northern reaches of the Santa Monica Mountains define this landscape on the edge of the San Fernando Valley during a period of rapid post-war expansion. While the western portion of the sheet remains dominated by deep canyons like Cheeseboro Canyon and Palo Comado Canyon, the eastern edge shows the encroaching purple tint of urban development. This 1952 survey, updated with 1967 aerial data, documents the establishment of planned communities such as Hidden Hills and Calabasas Highlands. A notable landmark of the era is the Motion Picture Country House and Hospital, reflecting the region's deep ties to the film industry. The map also captures the historic El Escorpion boundary and the early alignment of the Ventura Freeway as it began to reshape local transit through Brents Junction and Agoura.
