1932 Map of Dry Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Ex Mission San Fernando lands and the northern reaches of the Santa Monica Mountains converge in this early 1930s topographical study. The map documents the transition from the relatively flat San Fernando Valley floor into the steep canyons of the south, marked by the rising Calabasas Peak. Early development is concentrated around the fledgling community of Canoga Park and the settlement of Girard, while the western edge reveals the rural junction at Brents Junction. The Los Angeles City Boundary cuts diagonally through the hills, illustrating the era's municipal expansion. Transportation is defined by the winding Mulholland Highway and U S Highway No 101, which follow the natural contours of the land. Local education and community nodes are visible at the Calabasas School and the developing Calabasas Highlands, providing a detailed view of the region before mid-century suburbanization.
