1924 Map of Compton
USGS Topo · Published 1924About this map
The Dominguez Hills rise above a landscape of transitioning land use, where agricultural tracts meet the burgeoning oil industry of Southern California. Centered on the city of Compton, this 1923 survey documents a network of small settlements and educational institutions like the Gardens Japanese School and the McKinley Industrial Home. The presence of the Spanish American Institute and the Compton Sanitarium reflects the specialized social and medical facilities established here during the early twentieth century.
