1953 Map of El Monte
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The San Gabriel Mission anchors this mid-century portrait of a rapidly expanding San Gabriel Valley. Established residential grids in Alhambra and San Marino contrast with the emerging suburban developments of South San Gabriel and Temple City. The landscape is a mix of civic institutions like the Los Angeles Orphanage and the Pasadena-Rosemead Airport, which served local aviation before the full onset of the freeway era. Significant industrial activity is concentrated in the south, where Oil Wells pepper the hills near Montebello and Pico.
