About this map

Inglewood emerges as a developing urban hub in this 1923 survey, centered on a grid of streets and the Pacific Electric rail lines. The landscape north of the town is defined by the steep contours of Cienega O Paso De La Tijera and Aguaje De La Centinela, contrasting with the industrial developments to the southwest. Here, the Standard Oil Company and General Chemical Co reflect the region's burgeoning petroleum and industrial character near El Segundo.

Educational and civic life is anchored by neighborhood campuses like Fairview Heights School, Jefferson School, and Hawthorne School. To the west, the presence of the Naval Radio Sta and numerous Hothouses suggests a mix of military communication and commercial agriculture. The rail network, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, facilitates transport between the inland settlements and coastal areas like Manhattan Beach.
