1928 Map of Glendale

About this map

Glendale and the neighboring hills of the San Rafael Hills appear here during a period of rapid suburban expansion and early cinematic history. The street grid of the city is remarkably developed, stretching toward the Los Angeles River and the rugged slopes of the Verdugo Mountains. Landmarks of the era, such as the Vitagraph Studio in Hollywood and the Southwest Museum near Highland Park, highlight the cultural and industrial growth of Los Angeles County.
