1927 Map of Chatsworth

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

The San Fernando Valley landscape in the mid-1920s reveals the transitional state of the region's early suburban and agricultural expansion. Dominated by the Chatsworth Reservoir, the topography shows a sharp contrast between the flat valley floor and the rising heights of the Simi and Escorpion areas. The Southern Pacific railroad serves as a critical corridor through Chatsworth, providing the infrastructure that anchored these early settlements before the post-war housing booms. Local transit and connectivity are marked by a grid of named streets including Sherman Way and Topanga Canyon Ave, which would later become major regional thoroughfares. Notable local sites like Oakwood Cemetery and the town of Owensmouth offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the early residents of Los Angeles County.
