1924 Map of Hollywood

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Industrial production and rapid urban expansion define this mid-1920s landscape, most notably within the LA Brea Oil Field where derricks punctuated the terrain before the neighborhood's residential density took hold. The map reveals the intricate transit network of the Los Angeles basin, dominated by several branches of the Pacific Electric Hollywood Sherman Santa Monica Venice Line and the Pacific Electric Venice Short Line. These rail corridors connected emerging hubs like Culver and Sherman with the dense residential grid expanding south of Sunset Boulevard.
