About this map

La Brea and the surrounding plains of west Los Angeles are depicted here during a pivotal era of urbanization and resource extraction. The landscape is a patchwork of emerging residential grids and industrial activity, notably the dense concentration of Oil Wells and the Fossil Pits that would become world-famous. Major transit arteries like Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard define the region's movement, supported by the extensive Pacific Electric rail network connecting Sherman and Culver Junc.
