1966 Map of Glendora

About this map

Glendora and the northern reaches of La Verne sit at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, where residential expansion meets the steep drainage basins of the Angeles National Forest. The landscape is defined by massive water management projects, including the San Gabriel Reservoir and Morris Reservoir, the latter of which features a US Naval Ordnance Testing Station. Further south, the map reveals a dense network of civic infrastructure in San Dimas and the San Jose Addition, where dozens of local schools such as Sellers Sch and Goddard Jr High Sch serve the growing post-war community.
