1932 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Fairmont Butte dominates the eastern horizon of this 1932 survey, marking the transition from the flat expanse of the Antelope Valley into the dissected northern reaches of the Angeles National Forest. The settlement of Fairmont serves as a small hub for the surrounding ranching and dry-farming community, supported by the Fairmont Sch nearby. Crucial infrastructure of the era is visible in the form of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, which cuts across the terrain to reach the Fairmont Reservoir, illustrating the massive engineering efforts required to move water through this arid landscape.
