1937 Map of Fairmont

About this map

Antelope Valley meets the northern foothills of the Angeles National Forest in this topographic study, where the high desert terrain is defined by a rigid grid of numbered streets and avenues. The settlement of Fairmont sits at a critical junction near the Fairmont Butte, overlooking a landscape transformed by the engineered path of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. This vital water infrastructure winds through the southern canyons, feeding into the Fairmont Reservoir to support the growing demands of the region.
