1952 Map of Canoga Park

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

San Fernando Valley suburbanization is in full swing here, where the burgeoning neighborhoods of Canoga Park, Winnetka, and Reseda meet the foothills. This 1952 survey, updated with 1967 aerial data shown in purple, reveals the transition from open ranch land to dense residential blocks. Large institutions like the Birmingham General Hospital and San Fernando Valley State College sit alongside older landmarks such as the RKO Ranch and Pacific Lodge Boys Home. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly as the Santa Monica Mountains rise, defined by the winding course of Mulholland Drive and Mulholland Highway. The Los Angeles River cuts through the center of the valley, while the Southern Pacific railroad maintains industrial presence with the Tarzana Siding and Encino Siding.
