1966 Map of El Monte
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Mission San Gabriel Arcangel serves as a historic anchor for this portion of the San Gabriel Valley, which by the late 1960s had transitioned into a dense suburban landscape. The map details the complex intersection of the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River, specifically the Whittier Narrows County Recreation Area where flood control basins and Legg Lake dominate the geography. This area represents a critical point of confluence for regional drainage and transportation, as the Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric rail lines navigate the corridor between the Montebello Hills and Puente Hills.
