1932 Map of Dry Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Santa Monica Mountains and the southwestern edge of the San Fernando Valley meet in this early 1930s survey, showing a landscape on the cusp of suburban transformation. The early agricultural layout of the Escorpion and Ex Mission San Fernando ranchos is visible through the emerging street grids of Canoga Park and Girard. While major thoroughfares like Victory Boulevard and Ventura Boulevard were already established, much of the terrain south of the Los Angeles City Boundary remains defined by its topography. The map details the winding course of the Mulholland Highway as it snakes through the hills, connecting small foothill communities like Calabasas Highlands and the remote Mohn Springs. Local educational history is anchored by the Calabasas School, situated near the junction of U S Highway No 101 and the creek at Dry Canyon.
