1936 Map of Del Sur

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The San Andreas Rift Zone carves a striking path through this high-desert landscape, defining the geologic character of the region during the mid-1930s. Settled pockets like Del Sur and Quartz Hill sit at the intersection of the flat Antelope Valley and the rising elevations of Portal Ridge. The map reveals a community-centered infrastructure with Belleview Sch and Leona Sch serving the local families who lived along the grid of avenues and winding mountain routes. Water management in this arid environment is clearly marked by numerous wells and intermittent drainage systems such as Amargosa Creek and Rogers Creek. The presence of Bouquet Canyon Road and Elizabeth Lake Road highlights the established transportation network connecting these mountain passes to the valley floor during this era of Los Angeles County's development.
