1952 Map of Canoga Park

About this map

Chalk Hills and the northern slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains define the southern landscape of this mid-century San Fernando Valley study. The area is caught in a moment of rapid suburban transformation, where agricultural legacies like the C W Pierce School of Agr and the RKO Ranch persist alongside a blossoming grid of neighborhood schools such as Stagg St Sch and Anatola Ave Sch. To the west, the Chatsworth Reservoir anchors the terrain, while the Los Angeles River winds through the valley floor near the Birmingham General Hospital.
