1952 Map of Canoga Park

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The San Fernando Valley was undergoing rapid suburbanization when these 1952 revisions were recorded, with residential red-tinted zones expanding across Northridge, Reseda, and Canoga Park. Despite the growth, large agricultural and institutional tracts remain, such as the C W Pierce School of Agr and the RKO Ranch. The Southern Pacific railroad line anchors the industrial corridor, while the Los Angeles River and Arroyo Calabasas define the drainage patterns of the valley floor. To the south, the Santa Monica Mountains rise sharply, containing the Encino Reservoir and Glenview. Notable landmarks like the Ridgewood Military Academy and Birmingham High Sch reflect the era's educational landscape, while the Sepulveda Flood Control Basin illustrates the massive engineering efforts required to manage the region's seasonal runoff.
