1900 Map of Fernando

About this map

Ex Mission San Fernando lands dominate the southern portion of this 1897 survey, where the early grid of Fernando is established near the historic San Fernando Mission. The landscape transitions from the developing San Fernando Valley into the high elevations of the San Gabriel Timber Land Reserve, a precursor to the national forest system. Transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific RR and its San Francisco and New Orleans Line, which follows the course of the Santa Clara River and cuts through Soledad Canyon. Smaller settlements and railroad stops like Lang, Russ Siding, and Humphreys mark the rugged corridor between the river and the canyon systems of Plum and Mint. Local canyons such as Placerita and Gold suggest the era's mining and prospecting activity in the northern hills.
