USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
Compton and Gardena anchor this landscape during a period of rapid industrial transition in Los Angeles County. The terrain is dominated by the Dominguez Hills, where a concentrated network of Oil Wells and massive infrastructure like the Shell Oil Dominguez Refinery and Sunset Pacific Oil Tank Farm reveal the region's mid-century petroleum boom. This industrial footprint is balanced by local institutional life, seen in the Gardena Japanese School and the Dominguez Memorial Seminary.
