About this map

Inglewood and the surrounding South Bay and South Los Angeles communities appear here during a period of intense suburban infill and industrial activity. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of major thoroughfares like Slauson and Manchester, which connect historic neighborhoods such as Windsor Hills, Morningside Park, and Lennox. The map highlights massive mid-century footprints including Hollywood Park and the expansive Inglewood Park Cemetery.

South of the Hawthorne Municipal Airport, the transition into Gardena and Lawndale reveals a complex mix of residential blocks and active oil field operations. This edition, photorevised in the early 1980s, documents the expansion of educational institutions such as El Camino College and Pepperdine University, alongside the established rail corridors of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe lines that shaped the region's early 20th-century development.
