1940 Map of Evey Canyon

About this map

San Gabriel Mts dominate the western portion of this 1940 edition, where the high terrain of the Angeles National Forest meets the developing valley floor. The map records a critical interface of water management and infrastructure, with a Transmission Line cutting through the foothills above the winding San Antonio Creek. In the lower elevations, the grid of the northern edge of Claremont begins to take shape, marked by thoroughfares such as Padua Ave and San Antonio Ave. This survey captures the area just as suburban expansion was pushing toward the mountain base, while higher up, the Lower San Antonio Guard Station and Firebreak lines signify active forest management. Local history details include the Norton Sch and the route of Camp Baldy Road as it follows the canyon floor toward the heights.
