1957 Map of Hi Vista

About this map

Saddleback Butte State Park dominates the eastern landscape of this high desert region in northeastern Los Angeles County. The 1957 survey, with revisions added in the 1970s, captures a transitional period of sparse desert settlement characterized by a strict grid of dirt and light-duty roads such as East Avenue J and East Avenue M. The map highlights cultural preservation at the Antelope Valley Indian Museum, located near the base of Piute Butte. Small residential pockets like Hi Vista and Wilsona Gardens are visible among the larger terrain features including Rocky Buttes and Blue Rock. Significant land use evidence appears through several prospects, a Quarry, and a Sandpit, reflecting early industrial interest in the valley floor. The Wilsona School stands as a local landmark amidst the arid terrain of Big Rock Wash.
